A group of 9 Yemeni experts affiliated with the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC) traveled from Sana’a to Beirut, Lebanon to participate in targeted training on food security and nutrition from March 5-9, 2018. The training was delivered by a joint team from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the American University of Beirut (AUB). This training is part of a three year projected “Strengthening monitoring & impact evaluation on food & nutrition security in Yemen” funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and implemented by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). The training was divided into two parts, covering both concepts, theories, and tools related to food security and nutrition; as well as hands-on training to build and upload data to the MAP Yemen online monitoring tool.
After their return safely to Sana’a, the 9 participants have scheduled training sessions to pass on the training knowledge to the wider team back home. For more information, click here.
