Health Minister Mohammad Nasim yesterday called for ensuring universal health protection to turn population into human resources, reports BSS. “Let’s reiterate our pledges for ensuring food security and health protection ... This is the best way to turn population into manpower and make development sustainable .... We can attain this only through united efforts,’ he said. He was speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of three projects—Development Partnership between the Netherlands and Bangladesh, Food Security and Safety, Sexual and Reproductive Health.
These projects, undertaken by the Netherlands embassy, will be implemented by Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), CARE Bangladesh and Action Aid Bangladesh.
Ambassador of the Netherlands in Bangladesh in Leoni Margaretha Cuelenaere said, “With the project, we want to contribute to the development of efficient and inclusive value chain which means to enable farmers to access to quality seeds and other inputs to enable agri-entrepreneurs improve food safety.”
Action Aid country director Harah Kabir said, “Together with farmers the projects will promote the rights of women farmers and women agri-entrepreneurs.”
