Word from the Board Chairperson:
NUDEC works in collaboration with partners and actors across all levels of society to strengthen capacities of communities in addressing all forms of malnutrition. Further the Centre advocates for nutrition-relevant policies and implementation of strategies informed by tested interventions while drawing on communities’ knowledge. NUDEC supports ongoing nutrition assessments and monitoring towards sustained reduction of malnutrition as Tanzania strives to attain nutrition targets in the SDGs. Let us work together to make a malnutrition-free society, and the right to nutrition a reality.
