Abstract

This National Strategic Health Plan 2007-2012 was made possible through the collective efforts of many persons, including the contributions of the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO). The Food Nutrition and Physical Activity Goal aims at improving nutrition and food security status for the population of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and decreasing the burden of nutritional disorders and nutrition related CNCDs on society. Its strategies establish a food and nutrition council appointed by cabinet with related ministerial mechanisms for intersectoral cooperation in Food and Nutrition by end 2008. Implement a National Food and Nutrition Surveillance system for the assessment, monitoring, analysis and reporting on nutritional status, household food security and food consumption behaviour of key population groups by end of 2009. Establish National Nutrition and Dietetic Association by year-end 2008.
