    • Dear Sir/Madame

      The ICN2 frame work for action is an excellent document.  I would like to congratulate all those- country and regional representatives-  who were involved and participated in the writing of the frame work for action draft. We had an input in the EMRO region through our Oman representative.

      It is well structured; important nutrition issues regarding political will and commitment, social protection, economic, health and agriculture and others are properly addressed ; what is needed is strategies (with prioritized action plans) and commitment to implementation.

      This document will certainly be used as reference and guide to many nations for hopefully achieving the goals and targets.

      Wish you a successful ICN2 meeting and fruitful outcomes;
