NPC Releases Report on Food Security
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

February 19: A report launched recently by the National Planning Commission makes a strong case for increased attention and investment in food security and nutrition in Nepal.

The report – Towards Zero Hunger in Nepal: A Strategic Review of Food Security and Nutrition – provides a consolidated picture of the food security and nutrition status, challenges, opportunities and recommendations towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger in Nepal by 2030.

According to the NPC, this report will be a key tool to support the execution of the Right to Food and Food Sovereignty Act endorsed in 2018 which was formulated as per the constitutional provision of the “right to food” of all citizens. The NPC said in a statement that the report strives to ensure that “no-one is left behind” in achieving the SDG2 target.

The NPC further said that the strategic review report was produced following an independent study under the supervision of an inter-ministerial advisory group led by the NPC.

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) in collaboration with FAO and UNICEF, provided technical support for the strategic review process. The report was released on February 18.
