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 their environmental implications. It is aimed to reduce prevalence of overweight/obesity among school children of primary grades from 6% (source -COSI, 2019, WHO) to 5% in 2030.
