Strategic Session «School Nutrition Reform: Strategic Development in the Context of War and Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine»

We are convinced that children's health is the key to a healthy future for the whole country.

That is why, long before the full-scale invasion, we worked with our partners on important changes — reforming the school nutrition system.

We joined the launch of the Znaimo information platform.

Together with Cult Food, we taught school cooks how to prepare dishes from the updated menu.

Together with Healthy Nutrition for Children, we taught teachers how to work with the “Healthy Nutrition” methodology.

We prepared and distributed informational materials about healthy nutrition.

Over the past year, priorities and tasks have changed. However, school nutrition reform is always relevant for Ukrainian children and their families.

Therefore, we continue to shape a culture of healthy eating in children so that they have fewer health problems in adulthood.

Last week, our team joined a strategic session with Olena Zelenska, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the Embassy of Switzerland in Ukraine, and other partners to finalize the reform strategy in the following areas:

organization of quality nutrition: procurement and financing;

renovation and modernization of food service facilities: a comprehensive approach and alternative formats. http://bit.ly/3JZaQnD (HACCP) system;

human resource development;

promoting a culture of healthy eating and introducing new menus;

humanitarian support for educational institutions.

We thank each and every one of you who, together with us, contribute daily to the health of Ukrainians.
