Nutrition Programme

The Centre established its Nutrition Centre of Excellence (NCoE) in 1998 with a three-year fund support from the World Bank. The establishment of programmatic approach to research resulted in the formation of the Nutrition Programme among several others. The Nutrition Programme is the focal point for Centres nutrition research activities. The role is persuaded through leadership and coordination of nutrition-related activities in the Centre and is executed through a Head of the Programme. Its objectives include guidance and further strengthening of nutrition research through (i) identification of research priorities, (ii) facilitation of inter-divisional, national and international collaboration, and (iii) capacity building. The programme is currently housed within the Clinical Sciences Division (CSD).
