POSHAN AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MATERNAL AND CHILD NUTRITION
POSHAN is thrilled to be a part of the International Conference on Maternal and Child Nutrition (November 23-24, 2015), co-organized by the South Asia Infant Feeding Research Network (SAIFRN) and UNICEF. The conference aims to identify and prioritize challenges, review and share evidence and innovation for enhancing maternal and child health, and provide advocacy in shaping policies and programs to ensure nutrition of mothers and children. The overarching theme of this conference is “Effective delivery through evidence and innovation”, congruent with POSHAN’s approach towards improving nutrition in India.
