Following the release of the WFP COVID-19 Medium-term
programme framework (MTPF), the Nutrition Division has
developed a number of guidance tools and documents related
to the MTPF pillars of work. The Overweight and obesity in
the context of COVID-19 technical note and guidance aims
to support WFP's work in the area of promoting
healthy and nutritious diets, and preventing all forms of
malnutrition. Note that this is part of the forthcoming
guidelines on overweight and obesity prevention,
highlighting the key role that WFP can play across the
various systems – food, health, social protection and
education systems.
