Announcement of the 1^st Workshop and AGM

In Uganda, nutrition policies and strategies need to be routinely revised, develop new ones and implemented quickly if the country is to make substantial progress towards attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)of reducing malnutrition, child mortality, improved maternal health and combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. Nutrition interventions indeed provide some of the most effective ways of preventing illness, reducing mortality and promoting child development and consequently strengthening human capital. The challenge now is in how to accelerating nutrition improvement, through developing appropriate and effective policies, strategies and programmes to combat diseases using nutrition interventions.
