Ending hunger and malnutrition requires more than food — it requires programming across agriculture, health, social protection, and gender that is deliberately designed to improve nutrition outcomes. This advanced programme equips senior practitioners to design and lead food security and nutrition-sensitive programming that tackles the underlying causes of malnutrition in development settings.
Designed for an international audience from officer to director level, the programme integrates food and nutrition security analysis, the causes of malnutrition, nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific approaches, multi-sectoral programming, and measurement. Participants learn to lead programming that moves the needle on nutrition at scale and sustainably.
