Promoting the WHO framework for Public Food Procurement Policies
On 18 November 2024 a workshop was organised in Dhaka by the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority and the Nutrition in City Ecosystems (NICE) Project to examine the WHO Action Framework for Public Food Procurement Policies. The workshop debated the challenges faced by vulnerable urban populations to access diverse diets, and how public procurement could help to address this. Key discussions included forming a task force, policy advocacy, and promoting public procurement of nutritious, locally sourced foods to schools, and hospitals.
