Goal action plan
Training of dietitians (50-100 students/per school)
Support the establishment of nutrition departments at health/medical or educational universities in the country. Specifically, the project will support the establishment of two-year or four-year departments, the establishment of curricula, the creation of educational equipment and materials, and the teaching of classes. We will also dispatch 20 to 40 faculty members from Japan (for a total of four years) to assist in the legal development of the Dietitian Law, the Nutrition Improvement Law, and other laws and regulations, as well as in the preparation of a comprehensive plan for nutrition policy.
