Briefing | New BHOS Policy: focus on Food and Nutrition Security
Food and nutrition security is among the most pressing of the global development challenges the world faces today. To that end, it is expected to prominently feature in the Netherlands’ new foreign trade and development cooperation (BHOS) policy, which is due to be sent to parliament later this week by the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, Liesje Schreinemacher.

This session serves as an opportunity to gather and share information on the BHOS policy note.

The meeting will further build on the conversations held during the consultation phase for the policy and tap into the recently published summary of outcomes of the online consultations by Minister Schreinemacher and the outcomes of the specific online consultation session, hosted recently by NFP.
