Strategies for Maximising Nutritional Impact in West Africa

The one-day event, Strategies for Maximising Nutrition Impact in West Africa, showcased research projects that have driven various actions for the prevention and treatment of undernutrition in some of the countries in West Africa (Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Togo and Chad). Results from multiple experiences were presented, providing a broad scope of the current research environment in CTPs, WASH and WASH/nutrition, and possible future steps. This event encouraged attendees to participate in discussion of the results and findings and to provide input into further research and programmatic priorities to better address undernutrition in West Africa.
