Thanks for providing links to nutrition online courses. Quite helpful and bolsters technical knowledge on nutrition issues, which is vital in nutrition advocacy.

Looking for CERP (Continuing Education Recognition Points) from the listed courses. Do they come with any FREE courses?

Hi Rachel,
You'll have to contact each of the listed institutions to ask them directly. We don't have that information centralized and updated.

Best wishes,
Sergio

Fellow colleagues,
I would like to make you aware of the Agriculture, Nutrition and Health (ANH) Academy Week, that will take place in Addis Ababa, 20-24 June 2016.

The programme is rich with training and expertise in not only the science of agriculture and food systems for nutrition, but the evidence-to-policy dimension:
Programme

The week is split in two parts: training sessions in specialist research skills delivered by leading mentors for two days, followed by an international conference with over 90 presentations from the global research community working at the intersection of agriculture, nutrition and health.

Keynote speeches from internationally-recognised figures in these fields and topical panel discussions will be interspersed among many opportunities to network and foster new research collaborations.

Registration for the ANH Academy Week is free but participants will need to sponsor their own travel and accommodation. There are 100 places for the two-day Learning Labs and 150 for the three day Conference. Registration is first come, first served, so we recommend people register soon:
