CIHEAM BARI is launching the first edition of the High-level Specialised Training Course: “Nutrition and Health in African and Mediterranean Countries”, funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the International Cooperation.
The course is designed for public officials from Ministries of Agriculture and Health and aims to equip participants with the technical, communication and strategic innovative skills needed to strengthen inter-ministerial collaboration and develop integrated food and nutrition programmes, thus contributing to more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive policies aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal.
