Descripción
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Technical Cooperation Programme project “Mainstreaming Nutrition in National and Regional Trade Laws and Regulations of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Promoting Local Food Value Chains for Intra-SIDS Trade" was a direct response to the ongoing challenges faced by the SIDS on the triple burden of malnutrition related to the increased importation and consumption of foods of poor nutritional quality.
As part of the project, FAO organised a training on national trade policies, food laws, strategic plans, standards and nutrition security policies to faciliate cross-country learning among six SIDS and Madagascar. Participants included parliamentarians, trade division officials and customs staff, food regulatory bodies and food standards authorities, food and nutrition security and food value chain officials, consumer associations and small and medium enterprises.
The brief documents the good practices and lessons learned from this training, which can be used to inform the planning of similar capacity development activites in the future.
