The National Food and Nutrition Commission (NFNC) is a statutory body that was established in 1967 by an Act of Parliament, Chapter 308, Cap 41 as an advisory body to the Government on all matters concerning food and nutrition. Our broad objective is to promote and oversee nutrition activities in the country, primarily focusing on vulnerable groups such as children, and pregnant and nursing mothers. In pursuance of this mandate, we have, since inception undertaken several activities aimed at nutritional improvement with varying degrees of success. Many of these have been done through collaborative effort with both local and international stakeholders.
