FAO, Brazil join hands for nutrition education curriculum review

The South – South Cooperation project seeks to address nutrition security in schools

Nutrition education experts in Malawi have initiated a review of the country’s nutrition education curriculum to be incorporated in the curricula of Teacher Training Colleges. The review was made during a two-day national consultation workshop held in Kasungu from 16-17 November 2015 under the “Strengthening School Food & Nutrition Programs in Africa,” a South-South Cooperation project. The national stakeholders’ consultative workshop is one of the preliminary tasks being done with technical support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Government of Brazil to initiate the review of the nutrition education curricula. The project is currently supporting the Government of Malawi in the review of the national School, Health and Nutrition Strategic Plan by promoting an integrated approach where school meals procured from family famers, nutrition education & school gardens are combined in a cohesive effort to promote healthy life-long eating habits.
