Recommendations on healthy nutrition in Albania

This document guides people towards healthy nutrition and aims to protect and promote health. The key objective is to reduce the possibility of diseases generated from food. Albania uses a food pyramid which represents 6 food groups; cereals are at the bottom of the pyramid, fruits/vegatables on the second level; dairy products and animal source foods on the third level; fats and high sugar prodducts at the top.

Analysis Of The Situation and National Food and Nutrition Action Plan For Albania 2003-2008

Paper described the progress in the implementation of food and nutrition policy in Albania since 2003. It considered its impacts to date. It identified strategic priorities and critical areas/ priorities for Albania's future policy on improving the national food and nutrition situation. The evaluation of the implementation of the 2003-08 Food and Nutrition Action plan was conducted in 2011-2012. Outcome of assessment was that a lot of barriers were faced in the implementation process. These were a lack of instituional/ infrastructural support; lack of intersectoral coordination and motivation; insufficient knowledge and capacities.
