Joint efforts to improve nutrition outcomes among targeted population groups

By 2027, the Ministries of Health, Agriculture, Environment and Education will collaborate on a public campaign at national, sub-regional and local levels to educate the targeted population groups (schoolchildren, parents, teachers and broader community members) about healthy diets through sustainable food systems. This initiative will focus on the reduction of food waste, the adoption of healthy and diverse diets and the environmental implications. It is aimed at reducing prevalence of overweight/obesity among school children of primary grades from 6% (World Health Organization Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative 2019) to 5% in 2030.
