NOURICITY Accra – partnership workshop for improved urban nutrition and final project presentation
On August 17th – 18th 2022 NOURICITY partners met in Accra to interact with local stakeholders of the urban food system, in order to draft a partnership for improved urban nutrition in Ghana. This workshop was followed on the 18th by an extended meeting gathering stakeholders and researchers to discuss the research highlights of the project and the role of the various public bodies in steering the system toward better quality and safer food for the urban consumers. With food safety a key concern in many of the local open markets, and playing in the mind of many brains in the back of the COVID-19 pandemic, the two events were well attended and the discussions lively, reaching the public domain thanks to a strong media presence.
