A five-day photo exhibition to visually connect the impact stories of the European Union (EU) funded nutrition governance project and its contribution to improving the nutrition status of mothers, adolescents, and children in Bangladesh was launched at Lalmatia on March 2.
The exhibition also showcased the EU governance project’s significant approach to addressing the challenges of malnutrition and stories of change in the communities of Bagerhat in coastal Bangladesh, said a press statement.
The captured images reflected the experiences of local people who have taken charge of their nutrition and food security. Audiences learned about their journeys of change and got the inspiration for their own food choices and related behaviours. All photos and stories presented the impact of the EU’s support and highlighted the nutrition project’s impact at the local, and contribute to policy advocacy at the national level with the relevant actors.
On the occasion, Ambassador and Head of Delegation of the European Union to Bangladesh Charles Whiteley said, “The need for more equitable, resilient, and sustainable food and health systems has never been as urgent since the Covid-19 pandemic has tremendously impacted global food security.”
The EU, along with Concern in Bangladesh is contributing to comprehensively addressing malnutrition, by supporting the transformation of the country’s food system, on the one hand, and Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) of people, on the other hand, he said.
