Invitation to comment on the revised draft of the ICN2 political outcome document

A new open consultation for ICN2 starting 14 May 2014 and ending 28 May 2014, is now online.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), in cooperation with IFAD, IFPRI, UNESCO, UNICEF, World Bank, WTO, WFP and the High Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis (HLTF), are jointly organizing the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), a high-level conference at FAO Headquarters, Rome, from 19 to 21 November 2014.

Two documents are expected to come out of the ICN2 – a political outcome document and a framework of action for its implementation.

On the basis of discussions at the meetings of the ICN2 Joint Working Group (JWG) and comments received on the zero draft political outcome document through the public online consultation, a new shorter, more concise and more coherent Draft of the Rome Declaration on Nutrition has been prepared by the Co-Chairs of the JWG with the assistance of the joint Secretariats of FAO and WHO and is available in the six UN languages.The FAO/WHO joint Secretariat invites comments on the revised draft.

It is an opportunity to receive inputs from different stakeholders. The contributions will be compiled by the Joint ICN2 Secretariat and transmitted to the Joint Working Group formal meeting on 13 June 2014.
