Emergency Nutrition Network
The Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) was set up in 1996 by an international group of humanitarian agencies to accelerate learning and strengthen institutional memory in the emergency food and nutrition sector. The ENNs flagship publication, Field Exchange, was developed as the main means of achieving this. Since its inception, the ENN has developed a range of complementary activities including production of Special Supplements on areas of cutting edge programming, production of training materials and policy guidance on Infant Feeding in Emergencies, research initiatives, and independent reporting on/facilitation of international meetings. The Nutrition in Emergencies Training Project is funded via ENN as part of its challenge to build capacity in the sector.
