Media advisories with Zoom links/dial-in details will be emailed in advance.  Tuesday, 12 January WHO Action Framework for Developing and Implementing Public Food Procurement and Service Policies for a Healthy Diet WHO will launch a new Action framework for developing and implementing public food procurement and service policies for a healthy diet at a virtual event in collaboration with Resolve to Save Lives, an initiative of Vital Strategies. Every year, unhealthy diets are responsible for millions of deaths and lost years of good health. Urgent action is needed to stop the growing consumption of foods and beverages that lead to unhealthy diets. The action framework will support policymakers or programme managers working on public food procurement to develop new public food procurement and service policies or to strengthen or expand existing ones. Join WHO Director-General at the virtual event on 12 January from 13:30 - 14:30 CET. More here. Contact: Carla Drysdale, cdrysdale@who.int
 Wednesday, 13 January Nurturing care for children living in humanitarian settings More than 29 million children were born into conflict-affected areas in 2018. Young children in humanitarian situations face compounded risks to their development stemming from forced displacement, migration and resettlement, and compounded by limited access to health services, malnutrition and increased insecurity, violence and stress. WHO, UNICEF, the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health, International Rescue Committee and Early Childhood Development Action Network (ECDAN) will launch an advocacy brief on Nurturing care for children living in humanitarian settings. This brief summarizes actions that programme planners and implementers should take to minimize the impact that emergencies have on the lives of young children and their families.
