The launch was followed by a dialogue session among key nutrition stakeholderes about how to effectively coordinate efforts to achieve the vision, goals and actions outlined in the implementation framework of the national nutrition strategy within the established time schedule.
The strategy is important because it constitutes a roadmap to guide the efforts of the State and relevant partners to improve nutrition for the entire population, including women of reproductive age, children under 5, adolescents and older people.
WHO is committed to continue supporting the Ministry of Health and other national partners in preventing malnutrition, overweight and obesity, micronutrient deficiencies, and diet-related noncommunicable diseases and to promote sustainable healthy diets, guided by regional and global goals.
