African Nutrition Leadership Programme

The African Nutrition Leadership Programme (ANLP) is a 10 days training course that started in 2002 to assist the development of future leaders in the field of human nutrition in Africa. The emphasis of the programme is on understanding and developing the qualities and skills of leaders, team building, communication and understanding nutrition information in a broader context. The long-term aim of the ANLP is to meet the demands for leadership in Africa to solve its nutritional challenges.

The programme is designed for individuals who have experience in various fields of nutrition. Preference will be given to candidates with a postgraduate qualification, postdoctoral fellows and candidates with comparable working experience in the broader human nutrition science, studying or working in Africa.
