The 2 documents provide countries with high-impact, evidence-based, cost-effective and affordable interventions, which can be implemented by all countries, irrespective of income. We are working with governments and other partners to support the implementation of the regional strategy and framework, which will have a high impact on improving the health of people across the Region, and will play a major part in assisting countries to meet their commitments under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.</p> <div class="grey-box-shadow tfi" style="background: #fff; padding: 15px;"> <h3>Strategy on nutrition for the Eastern Mediterranean Region 2020–2030</h3> <p>In October 2019, the WHO Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean endorsed a regional strategy to support countries scale up action on nutrition in the Region.
