WEBINAR: impact on international nutrition by Martin J. Forman (USAID)

10 December 2020. Seizing Opportunity from the Jaws of Crisis: A Playbook for Nutrition. Organised by IFPRI

Global nutrition priorities, financing, and governance have evolved significantly over the last two decades. The translation of scientific evidence and cross-sector program data and experience has played a leading role in this evolution. But evidence alone is insufficient to stimulate broad-based action and enduring nutrition change.
