Tech RRT Webinar: Recent Tech RRT deployments to Yemen

When: Monday 22 May 2017
Time: 5 pm Yemen time
Duration: 1 hour

Facilitator: Andi Kendle, Tech RRT Program Manager
Presenters: Simon Karanja (CMAM Advisor, Tech RRT) and Anne Marie Kueter (IYCF-E Advisor, Tech RRT on loan from Save the Children)

Topic: The Tech RRT recently completed two deployments to Yemen, to support the emergency nutrition response with experts in CMAM and IYCF-E. As a means of information sharing and to foster discussion on the situation, the Tech RRT invites you to a webinar on these deployments. There will be a presentation to highlight what was done during the deployments, broad recommendations and lessons learned; this will be followed by an open discussion. We hope that a wide range of organizations and donors will join this presentation and discussion.

Background on the project: The Technical Rapid Response Team (Tech RRT) is a partnership between International Medical Corps, Save the Children and Action Against Hunger working in close collaboration with the Global Nutrition Cluster and UNICEF, funded by USAID/OFDA. The purpose of the Tech RRT is to improve the quality of nutrition humanitarian response by deploying technical surge, providing remote support and building the capacity of nutrition partners while national capacity is overstretched or inexperienced in nutrition in emergencies.
