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 was presented in a letter to the Dutch parliament on 24 June 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. This is both a moment to reflect moment as well as look forward and provide a space to share expectations and public recommendations for the upcoming parliamentary debate about the new policy (foreseen early July). 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.
