⬇️ A couple of reflections on recent #EU #Health #Policy developments (and links to two hot off the press Edelman Global Advisory / Edelman publications – scroll to bottom!)… 📢 Insights on the EU Strategic Agenda: Last week, Brussels stakeholders had the opportunity to see a draft version of the EU Strategic Agenda set for official adoption in June 2024. While the draft document outlined high-level objectives, (and is still subject to potential changes), there was a notable absence of health-related initiatives. 🔍 Understanding the Agenda: The EU Strategic Agenda, developed by the Council for each new mandate, serves as a crucial roadmap for the Union's actions over the upcoming term. The 2024-2029 agenda aims to provide clear political directions and priorities to tackle present and future challenges. ❗A missed opportunity for health: Despite the high-level nature of these objectives, the absence of an explicit goal on health suggests a potential shift in institutional priorities post-pandemic. In recent history we’ve reaped the benefits of addressing health challenges at EU-level, and as these cross-border issues are expected to increase in the coming years, it is essential that health remains on the EU agenda. 📝 Letta to the rescue? Just today, the former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta presented his Report on the Future of the Single Market to the European Heads of State and Government. In the report, Letta advocates for advancing EU’s R&D, investment, and production capabilities - particularly in the healthcare sector - which is highlighted to be of critical importance. The main aim of the report is to strengthen Europe's competitiveness in the face of rising global competition, so can we leverage the findings to ensure the EU remains not only focused on health, but also ensures the EU life sciences sector remains competitive globally? 🤝 Collaborative Solutions: Our team stands ready to support you, your company, or your organisation in leading efforts to advocate for comprehensive and sustainable health policies.

At the WTO Annual Agriculture Symposium 2024 Trade and Nutrition - Exploring the Nexus Un placer presentar el trabajo del Comité OTC, y los debates sobre salud y nutrición. Varios países adoptan medidas para asegurar que sus consumidores tomen decisiones informadas sobre los alimentos que adquieren. Esto incluye información nutricional y sobre salud en general. Esto es un objetivo legítimo de acuerdo a las reglas OMC. El cómo designar e implementar estas políticas es importante.

#Alliance2015 was proud to represent #GenerationNutrition, moderating the closing panel of the #BelgianPresidency's event on Ensuring healthy diets for better nutrition for all with FAO and the Ghent University. We were happy to endorse the strong arguments we heard from members states, EC, UN-agencies, research institutions and other civil society organisations to step up the gathering of more, better quality evidence & data; for systemic thinking, well connected multi-sectoral approaches; for inclusive co-created solutions that put the needs of the most vulnerable first and are embedded in context; for a private sector contribution that is well-regulated and fully accountable. Our main asks and concerns as civil society organisations centre on: 🔸 the need for strong political and financial commitment at next year's #Nutrition4Growth summit hosted by France - the work has to start now to get that in place 🔸 the need to renew, strengthen and prioritise the EU's nutrition policy framework as a driver underpinning of to underpin all its efforts with its partners to achieve #SDG2 and more effective humanitarian action and resilience building 🔸 concerns that the EU's Global Gateway approach does not clearly focus on the multi-sectoral human development needs that are at the heart of the SDGs, and the structural causes that underpin the current situation of global inequality and crisis, which affect the most vulnerable and least responsible the most Nutrition is the maker and marker of development and should be high on the agendas of all duty bearers.

La Estrategia de Nutrición FAO trata de mejorar la dieta y aumentar los niveles de NUTRICIÓN a través de un enfoque centrado en las PERSONAS: 🥦 Apoyar y facilitar el proceso de seguimiento de la CIN2, Segunda Conferencia Internacional sobre Nutrición de 2014, así como para convocar el Decenio de Acción sobre la Nutrición de las Naciones Unidas, declarado en abril del 2016 por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, y dirigir conjuntamente con la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) la aplicación de su PROGRAMA DE TRABAJO, en colaboración con socios clave. 🥑 Investigar y publicar pruebas, datos y directrices sobre nutrición basados en alimentos que incluyan la COMPOSICIÓN DE LOS ALIMENTOS, la evaluación de la dieta, necesidades humanas e indicadores basados en los alimentos. 🍅 Desarrollar la capacidad de los países para evaluar y dar seguimiento a situaciones nutricionales, analizar opciones e implementar programas y POLÍTICAS AGRÍCOLAS que tengan un impacto positivo en la nutrición. 📚 Proporcionar herramientas, orientación y apoyo para ampliar una educación nutricional adecuada y la sensibilización de los CONSUMIDORES a nivel nacional y local.

I met Bill Gates And here’s what I learnt from him Firstly a big shoutout to Nile University of Nigeria for co-hosting the #Nutrivision2024 The event was on the Pan-African youth dialogue on Nutrition (I’m typing this so calmly but I’m totally elated that I attended this event🤭) You can watch the vlog to get a full feel of the event Now to what I learnt There are many things you can learn by just being in the same space as a Billionaire 😂 One for sure is that you need to work harder and smarter!! Here are 3 things he highlighted 1. The Power of Technology in Health: Bill Gates highlighted how emerging technologies like AI and data analytics are transforming healthcare. Specifically, they have the potential to create personalized nutrition plans for African youth, addressing malnutrition in a way that traditional healthcare cannot. 2. Cultural Relevance is Key: A major takeaway for me was the importance of designing health solutions that are culturally relevant and accessible. Gates emphasized that for tech-driven health innovations to be truly impactful, they must consider the unique dietary habits and customs of the communities they serve. 3. Sustainability Matters: We also touched on the sustainability and scalability of health solutions. Gates stressed that it’s not enough to just create effective solutions — they need to be adaptable and sustainable for the long term, ensuring they can benefit more people across Africa over time. One last thing he said that spoke to me is “Philanthropy can do things that politicians can never achieve even in the next 20 years” Don’t say I never shared anything useful, save this and share with your communities!!! #PanAfricanYouthDialogue #HealthTech #AI #Nutrition #SustainableHealth #AfricanInnovation #BillGates #YouthEmpowerment

🚨 One-Day Critical Stakeholders Strategic Planning for the Department of Community and Social Intervention under the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs 🚨 Today marks a significant milestone as we engage in a strategic planning session to adopt policies for the creation of a new Government agency dedicated to protecting the welfare of women and girls. This initiative is crucial for addressing pressing issues like #food security, #nutrition, and #environmental sustainability. 🌱 Key Focus: Food Security and #Microbiome Technology We are highlighting the urgent need to enhance food security and the adoption of Microbiome Technology (probiotics) in various farming systems. This innovative approach promises to not only increase food production but also ensure the availability of high-quality, nutritious food while mitigating environmental impacts. 🥗 Microbiome Technology: A Game Changer The use of microbiome #technology is revolutionizing nutritional immunology by combating malnutrition among children and improving maternal care. By integrating probiotics into our agricultural practices, we can significantly boost the #health and well-being of our communities. At CHC AGRITECH AFRICA we are dedicated to making a social impact and addressing issues related to #zerohunger, #poverty, and #climate change. Our efforts will be channeled through social health workers and #CHC_Agritechnicians, who will serve as Ambassadors in #community building. Together, let's pave the way for a brighter future for #women and #girls, ensuring their welfare and creating sustainable, resilient communities. Congratulations to this new Department most especially to Nigwed Project always apt in empowering women and girls for sustainability. #FoodSecurity #MicrobiomeTechnology #Nutrition #WomenEmpowerment #CommunityBuilding #SustainableAgriculture #CHCAgritechAfrica #ZeroHunger #PovertyReduction #ClimateChange #SocialImpact

¿𝐂ó𝐦𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐚 𝐥𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 (𝐑𝐀𝐌) 𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚? El uso creciente de antimicrobianos en los sistemas alimentarios y con ello el desarrollo de enfermedades en plantas y animales de consumo humano  de difícil tratamiento, generan pérdidas de producción y contaminación ambiental. La RAM amenaza directamente el logro del Objetivo de Desarrollo          Sostenible #2: 🌽 "Un mundo libre de hambre para 2030" 🌽 Debido a que puede: 1. Favorecer el desarrollo de enfermedades en animales y cultivos. 2. Reducir la cantidad y calidad de los alimentos al comprometer su calidad y seguridad para el consumo humano. 3. Causar pérdidas económicas significativas para los ganaderos y agricultores debido a la disminución de la producción y los costos adicionales de tratamientos. ¿Qué podemos hacer? Acciones clave incluyen: 1. Promover el uso prudente de antimicrobianos en la agricultura y salud animal. 2. Implementar prácticas agrícolas sostenibles que reduzcan la necesidad de antimicrobianos. 3. Fortalecer la vigilancia y monitoreo de RAM en los sistemas alimentarios. 4. Invertir en investigación y desarrollo de alternativas a los antimicrobianos en la producción de alimentos. 5. Fomentar la colaboración entre sectores y países para abordar la AMR de manera integral. Al abordar la RAM, no solo protegemos la salud humana y animal, sino que también contribuimos al logro del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 2, favoreciendo un futuro alimentario más sostenible y saludable para todos. ¿Conocías el impacto de la RAM sobre la seguridad alimentaria? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *𝘓𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 (𝘙𝘈𝘔) 𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘴, 𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘶𝘴, 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘴 𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘳á𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘴 𝘺𝘢 𝘯𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘻𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘴.
