SEA-PHN Network Website-Updates
The meeting viewed the website traffic for the past one year. The Network website has been visited by users from 115 countries; most website users were rather young (below 35 years old) whereas the session duration that the users spent on the website was rather short. It was noted that the Network’s website is a good platform for sharing of resources but more promotion for its use is needed. -
Compilation of Food-Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG)
Two articles derived from the FBDGs compilation project were published in the supplement of Malaysian Journal of Nutrition. The 1st article compared the key messages of the FBDGs of 6 SEA countries whereas the 2nd article compared the pictorial guide that accompanies the FBDGs. Members and Associate Members were reminded to share the publication with their colleagues. -

-
Collaborative Project on School Children Intervention Programme to Promote Healthy Eating and Active Living
The meeting went through the compilation of intervention studies for primary school children that have been conducted in the region, and re-viewed the proposal for the collaborative project that has been presented at 2nd AGM. There was general agreement that the project proposed is too large and complicated for implementation by the Network. Members agreed to review the proposal, with the view of trimming down the project. -
Future Plans of SEA-PHN Network
The meeting agreed to work on two new projects, ie on analysis of nutrition situation and National Plan of Action for Nutrition of the countries in Southeast Asia region. Members were urged to share related publication/documentations for the compilation and analysis purposes.
