    An account of the consultation at the FAO regional office in Bangkok from 20 to 23 November 2001, which was attended by representatives of Bangladesh, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vanuatu and Viet Nam. The experts reviewed progress by countries in the region toward implementing food based dietary guidelines to assist in the choice of the right kind and right amount of food by people in Asia-Pacific countries. The past two decades have seen a size able increase in food production and consumption in the region, but the average diet still lacks dietary diversity, giving rise to micronutrient malnutrition and widespread protein energy malnutrition. The publication includes country presentations at the session and the recommendations that emerged from it for national action and to guide FAO's future work in this field. It also includes a section on the implementation of FAO's unique nutrition education endeavour - Feeding Minds, Fighting Hung er, a partnership of schools, governments, inter-governmental organizations, nutrition experts and non-governmental organizations.

    The dietary guidelines provide a framework for policy advice in planning nutritionally adequate, safe and affordable dietary practices. They are detailed and inclusive and take into account the dietary expectations, gender sensitivity and cultural realities of Sierra Leone’s diverse communities. Furthermore, the Guidelines are designed to influence not only individual food choices but also provide coherent policy guidance on the production of nutrient-dense foods, social protection programmes, school meals, nutrition standards, health and agriculture interventions that involve the commitment of diverse sectors influencing the health and nutritional well-being of the nation. The Guidelines will certainly play a great role in improving Sierra Leonean eating patterns in the years to come.
