NutritionWorks has just finalised coordinating the second version of the Harmonised Training Package. The HTP is a state of the art training package on nutrition in emergencies containing 21 modules. This was a collaborative project with the Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) and the IASC Global Nutrition Cluster members. The modules cover a multitude of subjects within nutrition in emergencies from assessments, interventions, to education as well as evaluation and operational links with other sectors such as health and food security. The modules are targeted at those training managers and practitioners within the sector. For more information and access to the HTP modules please click here.
NW is working on in-service and pre-service training development in Kenya and Bangladesh. Two Kenyan visits have focused on supporting Higher Education Authorities and In-service training courses on nutrition in emergencies in two emergency prone districts in Bangladesh have recently been completed with the TAHN Foundation (a national training organisation). In December 2011, a follow up visit by one of the NutritionWorks partners will be carried out.
NutritionWorks has recently completed a nutrition audit for DFID in Pakistan to document the extent of the nutrition problems, their causes and guide current and future programme direction to address undernutrition in this country.
NW is currently working on a substantial project to develop Ethiopia's emergency nutrition intervention guidelines. This will update the old guidelines based on national policies, programmes and guidance, and international guidance and evidence.
