This training course provides an understanding of the nutritional outcomes of emergencies (malnutrition, mortality and morbidity); and also the causes of malnutrition and mortality in emergencies (the process and dynamics of an emergency). The course has an operational focus, and at the same time incorporates relevant applied research.. The course itself is divided into three parts and – sessions.

Unit I (Sessions 1-6) provides an overview of the role of nutrition in the process, dynamics and outcomes of complex emergencies, and introduces a conceptual framework for analysing causes of malnutrition in emergencies. Relevant nutrition theory and concepts are also reviewed. The principles, codes and standards that underpin humanitarian assistance will be introduced and their relevance to nutrition reviewed.
