Online
June 21, 2023
10:00 AM-11:30 AM EDT (GMT-4)
Children who experience wasting during early childhood are more likely to face long-term consequences, such as cognitive impairments and developmental delays. Since 2018, USAID Advancing Nutrition has collaborated with diverse nutrition stakeholders in the Democratic Republic of Congo to better understand and document ways to strengthen the continuum of care for the treatment and prevention of wasting in children under the age of 5.
Join this upcoming webinar to hear more about the learning activities on coordination and collaboration between emergency and development-focused actors, the ready-to-use therapeutic food supply chain, and blanket supplementary feeding programs. Speakers will present findings, lessons learned, and globally-relevant takeaways. The event will be available in English and French.
