23 June 2011 - A series of humanitarian response programme evaluations in the 1990's highlighted a gap in the practice and institutional memory of humanitarian agencies involved in the food and nutrition sectors. As a result, a consortium of agencies came together in 1996 to establish the Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) to strengthen operational practice and the institutional memory of humanitarian agencies involved in food and nutrition assistance. Today, the ENN continues to work to improve the effectiveness of emergency food and nutrition interventions through the identification and rapid dissemination of knowledge and best practice, and through research and evaluation. CIDA’s contribution aims to help ENN to improve the dissemination of research, knowledge and best practice in nutrition interventions in emergencies. Targeted activities include: the production of Field Exchange Magazine, which identifies and shares lessons learned in operational practice in the emergency nutrition and food security sectors, and summarizes key research and evaluation findings; the operation of En-net, an online forum offering rapid technical support to those working in emergency nutrition and food security; and, the publication of Field Exchange Digest, an annual publication targeted at national nutrition stakeholders in developing countries prone to nutrition emergencies.
