Course Description


P8648   Food and nutrition in complex emergencies, 1.5 points

The goal of this course is that those having completed it will have the skills and tools needed to make a useful contribution to nutrition programs and/or nutritional assessment in emergency situations. Each session has a specific learning objective, as noted below. Every attempt will be made to ground course materials in real-life situations and examples. Also, since food and nutrition emergencies do not happen in a vacuum, the course also deals to some degree with the larger context of the politics of under-nutrition in non-emergency situations and how the continued neglect of under-nutrition globally and in many countries poses challenges for addressing food and nutrition emergencies.
