Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The National Nutrition Agency, with funding from the World Food Program (SBNG Convener), held its annual convergence on Tuesday, which coincided with the opening of a 3-day capacity-building training for the Sun Business Network Gambia chapter (SBNG) members on the processing of whole grain cereal for diet-related NCD management.<\/b><\/p>\n

Held at NaNA, the convergence and training are aimed at leveraging the National Nutrition Agency\u2019s role in the marketing of healthier foods that are beneficial in the management of diet-related non-communicable diseases.<\/p>\n

Sun Business Network Gambia Chapter is a private sector-led group established by the National Nutrition Agency as a member of the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement (SUN). Its main aim is to advocate for and support businesses to grow the role they play in improving nutrition in the country.<\/p>\n

Michiko Terada, the World Food Program (WFP) representative to The Gambia, said WFP has been collaborating with NaNA for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am sure that we could collaborate more with our current partnership with NaNA and the private sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that establishing an enabling environment for a healthy country or community is crucial.<\/p>\n

The director of finance and administration at NaNA, Lamin Njie, said NaNA\u2019s role is to coordinate all nutrition-related activities, adding that this could not have been possible without the collaboration of their key partners from the UN and the business community.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim is to combat malnutrition in this country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that businesses dealing in food commodities have a critical role to play in terms of fighting malnutrition.<\/p>\n

The director of the nutrition program at NaNA, Bakary Jallow, said the convergence is aimed at discussing the progress made over the past years and mapping a way forward for the coming years.<\/p>\n
