2nd Forum on Children in the Urban Environment

The Nutrition Workshop Group

     * The world is undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in history. For the first time, more than half of the world's people -  and half of the world's children - are living in towns and cities.  This urban proportion of the global population will continue grow over the coming decades, meaning that, from now on, most of the world's children will be located in towns and cities.


      ALLWIE/S President was invited to join the Nutrition sub-group by Dr. Pura Solon of UNICEF.  Her group had also Mary Racellis, Baby del Mundo of WIN, children's representative, a representative from DILG.  Other presentors included Mayor Oscar Rodriguez, President of the League of Cities,  Ms. Vaness Tobin, UNICEF Representative, DILG Representative, civil society and others.
