nnedpro-iane Regional Networks Good nutrition is at the foundation of good health. We see healthcare and public health practitioners as key knowledge brokers that can promote nutrition to achieve better public health. To do this, NNEdPro in collaboration with IANE convenes regional networks across six continents and currently has members in 78 countries. The Regional Networks are overseen by the Virtual Core . Please note: Membership in our Regional Networks is voluntary and based on where members are currently active. Network coverage may vary, and not all areas within a region may be represented.

Australia & New Zealand Canada Europe India & South Asia Latin America Middle East & Central Asia Pan-Africa (including Morocco) South East & East Asia United Kingdom & Ireland United States IKANN25 CROSS-CUTTING THEMES / ACTIVITIES In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic over 2020-22, we supported the following survey initiatives across all regional networks: The Language of Communicating Nutrition and Impact (LOCNI) – this will involve the translation of our 10-point guide on nutrition and COVID-19 into multiple languages evaluating the added impact of using linguistically adapted nutrition education resources Global Food and Nutrition Insecurity Survey (GFNIS): To develop a global pandemic impact picture around agri-food and health systems, GFNIS involved a semi-qualitative assessment of acute food and nutrition insecurity due to COVID-19 through a sample survey of regional network members as advocates for nutrition and health. The abstract can be found here . COVID19 Microsite Nutrition & COVID19 Across regional networks, our Education and Training Centre facilitates: the Summer School in Applied Human Nutrition the annual International Summit on Food, Nutrition and Health the International Academy of Nutrition Educators (IANE) and E-learning initiatives. Cross-Cutting Network Themes: Nutrition Education for Healthcare Professionals Featured Example : The NEPHELP (Nutrition Education Policy for Health Practice) model seeks to change the default status of nutrition education within health systems by strengthening the nutrition workforce in each region. The original NEPHELP initiative was developed in the UK, while adaptations of NEPHELP are now envisioned across regional networks internationally. From 2025, this has been superseded by the GNOME initiative . Empowering Underserved Communities in Nutrition and Health Featured Example : The Mobile Teaching Kitchen (MTK) model seeks to empower marginalised community members to become culinary health educators by bringing together change drivers, from medical and nutritional personnel to lay volunteers and NGOs, all invested in reducing nutritional inequities for better health. The original MTK initiative was developed in India, with adaptations of the MTK are now planned across regional networks internationally. Responsible Science Communication for Health and Resilience Featured Example : Commencing in 2026, in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in London , we are co-creating and organising a series of scientific roundtable meetings to build consensus on the role of a ‘Scientific Forum for Advancement of Mediterranean Diet Knowledge for Human Health ’. This work will enable all partners to showcase their ongoing commitment and existing Mediterranean Diet and Food-related initiatives, highlighting the shared dedication to advancing knowledge in this critical area. Cross-cutting Network Activities: Encouraging interprofessional and interdisciplinary collaboration Development of research and innovation projects Raising awareness through advocacy campaigns Delivery of scientific webinars and presentations Delivery of education sessions

NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health is an award-winning interdisciplinary think-tank, building upon over a decade of nutrition education, research and innovation. NNEdPro & Jampolis Family Nutrition and Education Research Fund The NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health is an independent and international think tank that believes everyone has the right to good nutrition. We develop adaptable and scalable educational models for strengthening nutrition capacity in food and health systems. Our education programme trains frontline healthcare professionals around the globe. We also provide direct support to vulnerable families and communities on the ground. We convene regional networks across six continents and collaborate with partners such as the World Health Organization and the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization. As a collective, we influence whole food and health systems across the globe: from production to consumption and beyond into healthcare. We deliver training to food and health systems actors, including healthcare professionals worldwide, and all of our work is underpinned by ground-breaking academic and action research. One of our key Initiatives, the Mobile Teaching Kitchen, empowers communities by sharing knowledge and skills through the medium of nutrition education. It aims to enhance health and wellbeing for women, children and families across communities, especially working within marginalised communities. After the success of the initiative in India and Mexico, NNEdPro and the MTK initiative received the 2022 Program Impact Award from the Society of Nutrition Education and Behavior in the USA and with generous support from the Jampolis Family we will be extending our work to address food and nutrition insecurity in the United States, in line with the 2022 White House initiative. We hope to build on the NNEdPro and Jampolis Family Nutrition Education and Research Fund by raising further and essential donor support to address malnutrition in all of its forms worldwide via our 10 regional networks and in line with the findings of multilateral organisations on the global needs assessment map on food and nutrition security.
