Coalition’s meeting with Odisha State Food Commission: Opportunities to work together on SDGs/WHA

A meeting took place on July 17, 2017 at the Odisha State Food Commission Office with the Coalition representatives to discuss different critical issues with regard to nutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. The discussion revolved around State’s future implementation strategy to achieve SDGs and WHA targets by reducing stunting, wasting and anemia (with specific attention on sickle cell anemia).

Decisions were taken to conduct a comprehensive representative Nutrition and Micronutrient survey to understand micronutrient status at the community level, roll out special projects on stunting and anemia reduction in malnutrition and hunger hotspots, form and promote hamlet level women change leaders to lead the nutrition agenda, develop inclusive, result oriented and multi-sectoral district plan on SDGs/WHA.
