Description
An ad hoc committee will be convened to review and assess methodological approaches to developing nutrient intake recommendations using evidence presented and discussions that took place in the workshop, Global Harmonization of Methodological Approaches to Nutrient Intake Recommendations.

A report will be prepared that includes recommendations for methodological approaches to achieve a uniform and consistent basis for setting nutrient intake recommendations for young children and women of child-bearing age across countries, and that will be reviewed, and published in accordance with institutional guidelines.
