The report was jointly prepared by United Nations World Food Program (WFP) and the Nepal Development Research Institute (NDRI) under the supervision of the NPC -- the apex policy making body of the government.
The report covers all aspects of food security, poverty and malnutrition in Nepal in order to provide a guideline for developing a comprehensive national food security plan.
Speaking on the occasion, Pokhrel stressed on the specific attention on particular issues of food security rather than generalizing the programs while implementing them.
