Safefood is holding a workshop on dietary standards on the island of Ireland with the aim to identify strategies to tackle food poverty issues as well as to discuss methodologies and evaluation techniques to be used in community intervention projects.  The workshop will take place on 16th April from 9.30 am - 4.15 pm at the Clarion Hotel, IFSC, in Dublin.

The main focus of the workshop will be two safefood funded Nutrition Research Projects:

The Standard of Healthy Living on the Island if Ireland
presented by Dr Sharon Friel, National University of Ireland, Galway and University College Cork

This project provides information on populations living on the island of Ireland who are at risk of poor diet–related health outcomes. The research will also:

• Report on the different types of diet purchased and the main demographic and socio-economic factors which influence these dietary patterns.
• Identify a budget standard which demonstrates how much it will cost a low-income family of two adults and two children to maintain this healthy living standard.

The Programme Logic Approach to evaluating Community Intervention Projects
presented by Dr Kevin P Balanda, Institute of Public Health in Ireland and Ireland and Northern Ireland's Population Health Observatory

This toolkit is a programme development and evaluation toolkit designed to support complex
community interventions. The test version of the toolkit will:

• Include examples of its application to the ‘Decent Food for All’ programme in Armagh-Dungannon Health Action Zone.
• Explore the rationale behind the toolkit and illustrate its use.
• Obtain feedback on its utility and identify opportunities for further development and use in the community nutrition and allied fields.

This part of the workshop will be held as a consultative workshop with only a limited number of available places.
