Description

By 2030, the Ministry of Health, together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Commerce, with contributions from the different key social actors, are committed to developing the National Plan for Food and Nutritional Security 2025-2033.

Progress will be assessed annually and key milestones will be set for each activity.
