Resumen
Descripción
The dietary guidelines provide a framework for policy advice in planning nutritionally adequate, safe and affordable dietary practices. They are detailed and inclusive and take into account the dietary expectations, gender sensitivity and cultural realities of Sierra Leone’s diverse communities. Furthermore, the Guidelines are designed to influence not only individual food choices but also provide coherent policy guidance on the production of nutrient-dense foods, social protection programmes, school meals, nutrition standards, health and agriculture interventions that involve the commitment of diverse sectors influencing the health and nutritional well-being of the nation. The Guidelines will certainly play a great role in improving Sierra Leonean eating patterns in the years to come.
