The "Initiative for Food and Nutrition Security in Africa" (IFNA) is a collaborative initiative jointly introduced by the African Union Development Agency (AUDA) and JICA.
All member states of IFNA, incl. Tanzania, will hold a three-day IFNA partners' meeting from 8th to 10th June 2021, convened as a hybrid between physical gathering and virtual (online) engagements. In Tanzania, the participants will gather in Dar es Salaam.
The objective of the meeting is to share progress, good practices, and lessons learnt to promote nutrition improvement in Africa, and to raise awareness, amongst all member states, on the upcoming "Tokyo Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit" which is scheduled to be held towards the end of 2021.
In Tanzania, participants are drawn from those Ministries/Agencies which are engaged in the nutrition improvement, i.e. the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), Ministry of Health (MoH), and Tanzania Food and Nutrient Centre (TFNC).
Since JICA has started expanding its support to nutrition improvement in Tanzania, we believe that promoting IFNA and sharing good practices among the member states will make such support more effective and beneficial to the country.
