Event: Symposium on Improving Nutrition in Dryland Areas (07/08/2018)

Session: We have for decades focused on food security with little emphasis on nutrition. But increase in the triple burden of malnutrition has forced us to relook at nutrition and its effect on human health. Achieving good nutrition in a household, community and nation is only possible if it is inclusive. That is if men, women and youths all join efforts to fight malnutrition. We need a gender-sensitive nutrition to
kick out malnutrition and its ills.
