Introduction
The short-term objective of the action plan is to instill adequate nutrition knowledge to enable adolescents to make better and informed food choices. The priority areas will include schools proximal to fast-food restaurants, towns, and cities. Priority will also be given to people who have had a history of illness due to poor food choices and those already diagnosed with the diseases. The project is estimated to educate and counsel at least five thousand per month, translating to sixty thousand adolescents every year. The long-term objective entails reducing the number of adolescents, young people, and school-going children with diabetes, hypertension, overweight, and obesity. This will be an annual indicator to assess the project’s progress (Bodai et al., 2018). The objective will have been met by reducing the number of people with these lifestyle diseases every year. The sector involved in the annual goal includes the ministry of health and its departments, administrative departments, financial partners, and the media and technology department.
The activities involved include nutrition screening and assessments, diagnosis and classification, nutrition education and specified counseling, and monitoring and evaluation. Nutrition screening and assessment will be done to gain the nutrition status of the adolescents (Marventano et al., 2018). Diagnosis will then be formed from the results of the assessment and screening. Following nutrition diagnosis, a collaborative strategy that involves nutrition education on better food choices will be conducted. Regular monitoring and evaluation will be carried out to determine the strategy’s progress. Adjustments and improvements will be done and applied where necessary.
