About the ANLP
The purpose of the African Nutrition Leadership Programme (ANLP) is to develop individual and institutional leadership capacity at various levels in nutrition across the African continent.
The ANLP, based at North-West University in South Africa, is committed to leadership development of early and mid-career nutrition professionals and related stakeholders on the African continent.
The ANLP offers a 10-day leadership development programme for individuals, together with tailor-made leadership and functional capacity development programmes based on stakeholder/institution needs.
10-day ANLP Programme
We have successfully hosted the 10-day ANLP Leadership Development Programme for individuals since 2002. Participants come from a wide variety of nutrition related disciplines in the government sector, the UN, civil society, academia and to a smaller extent from the private sector and individual consultants.
