EuroFIR NEXUS 2nd annual meeting and conference, March 5-6, 2013Ljubljana, Slovenia
Introduction The European Food Information Resource Network -
EuroFIR aims to develop food composition data platform in Europe including CEE countries.
Capacity development (CD) in food and nutrition is much more than formal training and includes human resource, organizational, institutional and legal framework development; long-term, continuous process that focuses on national priorities, development policies plans and processes.

Background EuroFIR-IMR-NCDNCEE 2006-2010
Partnership with EuroFIR together with the UNU/SCN Network for CD in Nutrition in Central and Eastern Europe (NCDNCEE) (http://www.agrowebcee.net/ncdn)
IMR created the tool Food Comp Data Management (FCDM) - web based software for developing new FCDB harmonized with EuroFIR technical annex, standards and recommendations
Implemented the first online Serbian FCDB harmonized with EuroFIR recommendations
Established collaboration with national contacts in non EuroFIR countries in CEE and MENANA
Identified: - FCDB status in CEE countries and MENANA i.e. lack of FCDB and software for database management
- Specific training needs and opportunities for collaboration in food and nutrition in non-EuroFIR countries
Tailor made FCDB training workshops, capacity development and courses were organized with EuroFIR and NCDNCEE support and individual EuroFIR training bursaries were given to CEE and MENANA participants
This collaboration aimed to capacity development in food composition database with EuroFIR, particularly for the CEE countries

Network for Capacity Development in Central & Eastern European Countries
Task 4 – Shaping and implementing Balkan Food platform with Network for Capacity Development in Central & Eastern European
Countries AimAim: Improve and extend the existing Balkan Food Platform and develop 1st online
Regional FCDB for West Balkan Countries (WBC) using a web based application Food Comp Data Management (FCDM) software
Steps:Steps:
Involvement of compilers from different countries in shaping Balkan Food platform
Identify FCDB status in WBC and CEE Identify and prioritize training needs; plan and organize meetings
and workshops Improve and extend web applications for nutrition research and
education applications Develop and sign MoUs with with key food and nutritional
stakeholders from Balkan and CEE countries

HOW: FCDB status and training needs questionnaire
Web-based Food Composition Data Management (FCDM) software for FCDB creation (national/regional) - developed by the IMR research team according to EuroFIR recommendations+ Manual for users
CD activities comprise NCDNCEE workshops and trainings e.g. compilation of the foods and recipes information from Balkan countries
The basis of the regional FCDB is Serbian FCDB with contribution from other countries i.e. Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia and is open for new members’ contribution

Plans for sustainability
• Balkan platform is shaped, Network is formed and objectives are reached !
• Implementation of Balkan platform through use of Nutritional tools for FCDB
• Capacity Development Network in Nutrition in CEE countries- CAPNUTRA,
is formed as the Regional Network and the sustainability plan is made to sustain
the Balkan Food Platform:
1. further collaboration with EuroFIR AISBL
2. future involvement in EC projects (EuroFoodNet, EURODISH), Bilateral collaboration, National projects, COST actions
3. collaboration with regional networks,
4. key food and nutritional stakeholders from WBC
5. SMS, clusters,

Conclusions
Balkan food platform with involvement of key food and nutritional
stakeholders from WBC and the 1st online regional Food composition data
base relevant to these countries is essential to support the work of dietitians,
nutritionist, researchers and policy makers
Shaping Balkan Food platform, using FCDM software with harmonize data
collection, storage and exchange throughout WBC contributed to data
exchange between different countries in Europe and for integration of any
new food data in the future and to link with European Food Data Platform
Thank you for great collaboration!
