Public Health Nutrition: Policy and Programming

This module aims to equip MPH students to critically analyse, identify and plan successful nutrition programmes. There are three units: Unit 1 provides a general overview of the nutrition situation in the world as well as an historical overview of nutrition programmes, and concludes with the identification of the success factors in these programmes. Unit 2 provides a more detailed discussion of some of the socio-political factors contributing to successful nutrition Programmes and Unit 3 explores some of the technical factors which contribute to successful nutrition Programmes. A reading list is contained in the Module Introduction and these readings which must be separately sourced are integrated across the learning.
