CGPA and IMPACT Research International presented a case of #foodgovernance and #nutritiongovernance at the Senate of Pakistan before a panel of senators nominated by the Honourable Chairman Senate. Rida Qazi, advisor on special initiatives at the Senate of Pakistan Secretariat, facilitated the entire process of consultation.
The team presented evidence about increase in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, obesity, CVDs, and issues of mental health in Pakistan, and the policy ensemble which can cost-effectively and most effectively prevent various NCDs. The emphasis of this session was on the need of parliamentary oversight to manage conflict of interest in policy formulation related to food.
We argued for best-buy policies for better food governance:
1. Front of package warning labelling;
2. Fiscal policy interventions to tax the unhealthy foods;
3. School and hospital food environment;
4. Advertisement restrictions; and
5. Conflict of interest policies.
In addition, Zameer Haider stressed on the need of mandatory regulation for large scale fortifications efforts to improve nutrition actions in all federating units.

For over seven decades, the people of this region — loyal citizens who proudly fly the Pakistani flag even on the graves of their martyred sons who have died fighting for the country — have waited for their constitutional rights. Their patience is wearing thin, and the younger, educated generation is discontented with the status quo. The state must recognise the growing frustration and address their rightful demand for accession.
