Dhaka, July 7, 2025 – Since its launch in 2021, the Nutrition in City Ecosystems (NICE) initiative, supported by Switzerland, has been transforming urban nutrition and health governance in Bangladesh. By fostering collaboration among local authorities, private sectors, and civil society, NICE is driving the development of sustainable food systems in cities across the country.
At a recent national reflection workshop, stakeholders gathered to celebrate the initiative’s achievements. Key outcomes include heightened awareness of healthy eating, particularly among women and youth, improved distribution of nutritious food in urban areas, and strengthened local systems to enhance food and health outcomes.
The NICE initiative continues to empower cities to build resilient, inclusive food systems, paving the way for healthier communities in Bangladesh.
