Enhancing countries’ institutional and human capacities to identify and address their own nutrition needs and develop successful nutrition research and programs is a key objective of the Nutrition Innovation Lab’s applied research activities in its focus countries. From 2010 to 2020, the Nutrition Innovation Lab, in close collaboration with in-country stakeholders, academic institutions, governments, and ministries has enhanced institutional and human capacity through long-term graduate level trainings, short-term research workshops, seminars, symposia, and conferences. In this webinar, we will highlight the capacity development activities conducted in Nepal, Uganda, and India and explore lessons learned and policy and programmatic implications for continued long-term support to develop human and institutional nutrition capacity.
