The ANLP is a leadership development and networking seminar aimed at assisting the development of future leaders in the field of human nutrition in Africa. The initiative grew from activities initiated by UNU-FNP and the International Union of Nutrition Sciences (IUNS) to develop capacity in 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.  MORE INFORMATION
