Dear Christiant,
Sorry you are right a deadline is needed. I will try to have a meeting with our senior managers next week. So the deadline would be Thursday 19  March 2015 for this purpose (even though we will not close the survey thereafter)

We already have 67 responses. Thanks to all those taken the time to reply.

Best wishes
Ruth

Objet : FAO to reduce some food composition work

Dear all,
I would like to bring to your attention FAO’s “Medium Term Plan 2014-17 (reviewed) and Programme of Work and Budget 2016-17” (http://www.fao.org/3/a-mm710e.pdf) which states on p.21: “Nutrition: in realigning and strengthening work on nutrition in follow-up to ICN2, reduce work on nutrition education curricular development and some food composition work.”

It comes as a surprise as the Evaluation of FAO’s role and work in nutrition of 2011 recommended exactly the contrary: see p.14 and recommendation 7 (http://www.fao.org/docrep/meeting/023/mb663E01.pdf).

In the past, two professionals were working on food composition (Barbara Burlingame and me) with a much higher level of regular budget funding. Barbara left FAO in 2014.

In order to know which part of our work is the least relevant for countries, and thus could be de-emphasized, I designed a survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9N5N6G5 which I hope many of you will complete ASAP. Please disseminate it widely also to colleagues who work on food composition.

Best wishes
Ruth
