The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is pleased to be able to offer a new, first-of-its-kind executive short course, "Together for nutrition", which focuses on public-private engagement to improve the consumption of nutritious food. The course will bring together 30 participants with an equal number coming from the public and private sectors. Participants will be in sufficiently senior leadership positions to make or influence decisions in their own context that will lead to a greater number of more effective public-private engagements to advance nutrition. This course will provide access to how this goal fits into the political economy of food in the 21st century, and the wide-ranging challenges of sustainability and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Speakers
