Dear FSN moderator
The work programme is clearly written, below receive a few comments send on behalf of WFP RBJ
1. Background: paragraph one:
I propose that we spell out undernutrition to also include acute and chronic malnutrition.
2. Page 5: action area 1: consider including this: erratic climatic conditions has resulted in severe conditions such as the El Niño leading to severe drought. These conditions poses risks to sustainable food systems. Additionally, sustainable and resilient food systems should also build on indigenous knowledge system by creating awareness and increasing demand and production of indigenous food crops.
3. Page 8: Action area 5: in this area, consider addicting the following dimension: creation of supportive public food environment requires commitment and involvement of the food industry to ensure availability and affordability of healthy foods. Business should take the responsibility and held accountable through country legislative frameworks to ensure a safe and supportive food environment.
4. Page 12: Governance: on this section, expand on national government coordination in tackling commitments made. Lack of nationally led coordination and governance can play a role in non-attainment of nutrition actions by 2025.
5. The work programme is not mentioning monitoring instruments to measure progress made towards attainment of nutrition commitments in the next decade.
