Appendix B

Workshop Agenda

September 21–22, 2017
Headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Viale delle Terme di Caracalla
Rome, Italy

Workshop Objectives

  • Describe potential frameworks to enable global harmonization of methodologies to establish nutrient intake recommendations.
  • Explore approaches for evaluating the evidence to facilitate global harmonization of methodologies to establish nutrient intake recommendations.
  • Examine the potential for addressing contextual factors from different population subgroups, regions, and countries that may or may not be conducive to harmonization.
  • Consider approaches to facilitate global sharing of resources to maintain quality and support cost-effectiveness to develop methodologies for nutrient intake recommendations.
  • Identify the advantages, barriers, and challenges to global harmonization of methodologies to establish nutrient intake recommendations.
