L’éducation nutritionnelle comme stratégie pour renforcer les agriculteurs familiaux et améliorer l’alimentation et l’état nutritionnel des populations
Cette discussion en ligne, organisée conjointement avec la Red ICEAN, a pour objectif de cerner des leviers d’action et initiatives potentiels dans le cadre desquels l’éducation nutritionnelle permettrait d’améliorer l’alimentation des familles productrices ainsi que de créer une demande pour des produits nutritifs locaux, générant ainsi des revenus pour ces familles tout en améliorant l’état nutritionnel des populations.
Innovative School Feeding Programme to Combat Extreme Poverty in Zanzibar
On Wednesday 28 May the Government of Zanzibar launched a new innovative Home Grown School Feeding (HGSF) programme in collaboration with the Partnership for Child Development (PCD) and Table for Two to feed over 5000 school children, whilst simultaneously supporting local smallholder farmers by sourcing their produce for the school meals.
“This programme is the first of its kind for Zanzibar and marks the Government’s awareness on the value of school meals for society as a whole” said PCD’s East Africa Senior Programme Manager, Iain Gardiner. He continued, “Not only will children be well fed in school but jobs will be created for farmers and other community members involved in the growing, processing and preparing of food for school meals.”

International Course on Rights-based approach to food and nutrition security
The Food and Nutrition Security Training programme of the Centre for Development Innovation - Wageningen UR is pleased to announce the organisation of the
‘International Course on Rights-based approach to food and nutrition security, to be held in Wageningen, the Netherlands from 19 –30 January 2015’.
A fresh approach in addressing the problem of food and nutrition insecurity is the human rights-based framework. The right to food has been formally recognized since the adoption of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
This definition of the Right to Food has been further developed by FAO and is as follows: When every man, woman and child, alone or in community with others, has physical access and economic access at all times to adequate food or means for its procurement.
As a participant in this course you will gain insights about concepts and principles within the human rights-based approach, Right to Food, Food and Nutrition security and their interrelationships. The course will address different concepts used in the right to food approach. Participants will be provided tools on how to set-up lobbying and advocacy campaigns and how to develop an intervention using a rights-based approach to address food and nutrition insecurity.
If you are interested in learning about rights-based approaches please consult our website of the Centre for Development Innovation for more information about the application procedure and costs.
Fellowships available: Deadline for fellowship application is May 6, 2014.

Despite the world-wide increase of food availability, there are still around one billion people undernourished. This is far above of the target of MDG 1. There is now substantial evidence that malnutrition has life-long negative impacts on productivity and income-generating potential of the population.
Fellowships available: Deadline for fellowship application is May 6, 2014.
