What is the ANLP?
The African Nutrition Leadership Programme (ANLP) is a leadership development and networking seminar aimed at assisting the development of future leaders in the field of human nutrition in Africa. Emphasis is placed on understanding the qualities and skills of leaders, team building, communication and nutrition information in a broader context, and to understanding the role of nutrition science in the world around us.
The initial stimulus for an ANLP was given by Wageningen University (the Netherlands) based on the success with the programme in Europe and from the activities initiated by the Food & Nutrition Programme of United Nations Universities and the International Union of Nutrition Sciences with respect to capacity development in nutrition in Africa. The eighth of a series of seminars of the ANLP (See 1st announcement: July 2009) will run in South Africa, and plans are underway to host the seminar in other African countries in the future.
Who is the ANLP aimed at
The programme is designed for individuals who have experience in various fields of nutrition. Preference will be given to applicants with an advanced degree, postdoctoral fellows and candidates with comparable working experience in the broader human nutrition sciences, studying or working in Africa. We are also actively seeking applications from participants who are under the age of 40 years as well as candidates from francophone and lusophone countries.
