The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) yesterday launched an initiative aimed to engage and empower private sector actors in addressing Ghana's nutrition challenges.
Dubbed: 'the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Business Network (SBN),' it also focuses on harnessing private sector resources, creativity, and reach to enhance access to and demand for nutritious food.
Speaking at the launch in Accra, the Vice Chair of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), Mr David Quaye Annang, described the initiative as a major step in mobilising businesses to invest in responsible and sustainable nutrition practices. "The SBN will harness private sector expertise to improve markets and nutrition outcomes for consumers.
It involves stakeholders across the food system, from production and supply to processing, formulation, and marketing," he added.
