According to the Minister, the government’s objective is to implement robust national nutrition standards so that all learning environments foster “healthy growth, strong minds, and bright futures.”
Participants will receive practical instruction in food safety, healthier meal preparation, application of the technical recommendations, and strategies for developing standards through multisector collaboration.
The event was attended by Director of Education Clare Browne and CARPHA Technical Officer Abigail Caleb, both of whom underscored the importance of coordinated action to address childhood nutrition challenges.
This workshop forms part of Antigua and Barbuda’s broader commitment to reducing non-communicable diseases and eliminating all forms of malnutrition by 2030, in keeping with global Sustainable Development Goals.
