Our purpose is to strengthen the evidence and know-how for effective nutrition interventions in countries prone to crisis and high levels of malnutrition.
The ENN enables nutrition networking and learning to build the evidence base for nutrition programming. Our focus is communities in crisis, typically humanitarian emergencies, and where undernutrition is a significant chronic problem.
We consider both nutrition-specific programming, such as management of acute malnutrition, and nutrition sensitive programming, that involve sectors such as social protection, agriculture, health, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
•We capture and exchange experiences of practitioners through our Field Exchange and Nutrition Exchange publications and our online technical forum.
•We undertake research and reviews where evidence is weak.
•We broker technical discussion where agreement is lacking, such as MUAC and WHZ scores as indicators of SAM.
