Candice Ramessar (Caribbean Project Coordinator) launches a tool to help fight child obesity in the Caribbean region.
Yesterday we launched Consumers International’s (CI) 'Manual for monitoring food marketing to children', in Jamaica. The launch was undoubtedly a success. For me the best moment of the day was a young lady who came to CI’s office after the launch to ask for a copy so she can review its applicability to her work in food standards.

The launch was at the picturesque campus of the St George’s High School in downtown Kingston, behind the world famous Sabina cricket ground.
Ms Dolsie Allen, CEO of the Consumer Affairs Commission of Jamaica, introduced the manual, citing some statistics of the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the Caribbean region.
