INITIATIVE 
 
REF:  STATE 107298 
 
1.  (U) This is an action request.  See paragraphs 2 and 8. 
 
SUMMARY 
------- 
 
2.  (SBU) Bangladesh and Mission Dhaka are moving ahead with plans 
to collaborate on food security, as laid out in the USG's new Global 
Hunger and Food Security Initiative.  The Ambassador and senior 
officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) 
met with Government of Bangladesh (GOB) leaders the week of November 
8 to brief them on USG food security plans.  Bangladesh's 
leadership, from the Prime Minister on down, welcomed the United 
States' renewed commitment to food security.  A delegation from 
Bangladesh, led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is in Rome for the 
World Food Summit, and we request the USG delegation to seek a 
meeting with the Bangladesh representatives to keep momentum going. 
 
GEARING UP ON FOOD SECURITY 
--------------------------- 
 
3.  (U) In response to the USG's food security initiative and the 
designation of Bangladesh as a focus country, Mission Dhaka has 
ramped up efforts to develop its implementation plan and solicit GOB 
support.  The Ambassador, USAID Mission Director and USAID Director 
of Agriculture, Dr. Josette Lewis, held a series of consultations on 
the initiative with the Government of Bangladesh's Ministries of 
Agriculture, Fisheries and Livestock, Food and Disaster Management, 
Environment and Forestry, Finance, and Health and Family Welfare 
between November 8 and 12. 
 
4.  (SBU) GOB officials warmly welcomed USG engagement on this 
issue, given that millions of Bangladeshis are food insecure.  The 
USG and GOB officials agreed that Bangladesh's national food action 
and nutrition plans were natural starting points for collaboration. 
The Minister of Health and Family Welfare enthusiastically welcomed 
the integration of nutrition education  across the various 
ministries and suggested he and other ministers should write a 
letter to the Prime Minister to endorse USAID's Hunger and Food 
Security initiative. 
 
5.  (SBU) The Ambassador and visiting Ambassador-at-Large for Global 
Women's Issues, Melanne Verveer, highlighted the food security 
initiative in meetings November 5 and 11 with Bangladesh Prime 
Minister Sheikh Hasina.  Hasina thanked USG leaders for their focus 
on food security, noting the huge response from developing nations 
to Secretary Clinton's meeting on food security held at the margins 
of the United Nations General Assembly in September.  The Prime 
Minister said her government had plans to address food security and 
malnutrition, particularly among women and children.  The PM said 
she looked forward to working with the United States on this 
initiative and observed she would travel to Rome November 15 to 
participate in the World Food Summit.  The Ambassador also wrote to 
the Prime Minister on the eve of her departure for Rome to emphasize 
the importance of developing a coordinated country-led strategy. 
 
6.(SBU) Dr. Lewis and members of the Mission Dhaka team also met 
with donors, members of civil society and agricultural researchers 
to describe the food security initiative and discussed ways to 
 
DHAKA 00001040  002 OF 002 
 
 
coordinate related programs to fill gaps and avoid overlapping 
programs.  The Executive Chairman of the Bangladesh Agricultural 
Research Council Dr. Wais Kabir underscored the need for 
cross-country technology exchange in agricultural research. 
 
COMMENT AND ACTION REQUEST 
-------------------------- 
 
7.  (SBU) Mission Dhaka will continue to engage the GOB in 
developing a long-term strategy for achieving food security that 
builds on the foundation laid by supplemental resources provided by 
Congress at the end of FY2008 and beginning of FY2009.   Mission 
Dhaka's inter-agency food security task force is developing a plan 
for FY2010 that will lay the foundation for a country-led, 
Bangladeshi-owned food security strategy.  Following Nov. 4-6 
meetings in India with USAID, State and Agriculture officials from 
Washington and the region, Mission Dhaka is putting the finishing 
touches on its implementation plan for FY2010 funding. 
 
8.  (SBU) With its national action plans on food and nutrition, 
Bangladesh is already ahead of the curve in terms of the global 
priority placed on country-led food security planning outlined by 
the United States and the G20 at L'Aquila in July.  We need to keep 
the momentum going.  To that end, we recommend USG representatives 
attending the World Food Summit meet with members of the Bangladesh 
delegation to reinforce our commitment to partnering with Bangladesh 
and to discuss ways in which Bangladesh and the United States can 
move forward on this important initiative.
