Descripción
In response to current global nutrition challenges, the 63rd World Health Assembly (WHA) in 2010 approved resolution 63.23, urging Member States to increase political commitment in order to prevent and reduce malnutrition in all its forms, and requested the Director‐General to develop a comprehensive implementation plan on infant and young child nutrition as a critical component of a global multi‐sectoral nutrition framework. This bi‐regional meeting was jointly called by the Regional Directors of SEARO and WPRO, with WHO HQ and in collaboration with FAO, UNICEF, WFP and the World Bank, to conduct a joint regional consultation on the Comprehensive Implementation Plan (CIP). The meeting was held in Colombo, Sri Lanka from 10 to 12 of August 2011 and attended by over 80 representatives of 19 countries and 13 international and regional agencies.
