Regional Parliamentary Seminar
PROMOTING CHILD NUTRITION IN ASIA
4-6 November 2014, Vientiane (Lao People’s Democratic Republic)

A regional parliamentary seminar will be organized jointly by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and UNICEF with the support of the Scaling up Nutrition (SUN) Movement and hosted by the National Assembly of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.

The seminar will be held from 4 to 6 November 2014 in Vientiane. It is aimed at enhancing the understanding of parliamentarians and parliamentary staff of issues related to malnutrition and stunting, including the damaging effects inaction to address inadequate nutrition can have on countries’ economic development. Emphasis will therefore be placed on the strategies and tools parliamentarians can leverage to scale up and strengthen nutrition programmes and policies

The seminar will also offer parliamentarians from the region the opportunity to provide input to the upcoming second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) that will be held in Rome in late November 2014 at the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Headquarters and will be attended by Heads of State and Government.
