How can children be best prepared for school? #Nutrition and #education go hand in hand.

How do you talk about #nutrition? Nutrition isn’t just about food. It is about governments, communities and teamwork. We work to deliver the greatest nutritional impact at the lowest cost, whether conducting cutting-edge research, influencing policy, improving delivery, or integrating nutrition into new platforms. Our CEO, @JoelCSpicer, discusses how we can strengthen the conversation on nutrition through multisectoral integration. Learn more: nutritionintl.org/about-us/

A key takeaway from the fireside chat with @HonAhmedHussen: "We can increase our impact if we partner up more tightly and bring together private sector and philanthropy." #InternationalDevelopment #Africa
