Capacity Building
Strengthening the competencies of implementers, facilitators, and stakeholders in national nutrition programmes.
Programme Introduction
The Capacity Building programme provides structured learning for nutrition programme implementers, facilitators, nutrition professionals, and cross-sector partners. It strengthens technical, managerial, and collaborative competencies to support consistent and adaptive implementation of national nutrition programmes.
Why This Programme Is Needed
Implementers' capacity is essential to maintaining service quality, food safety, and consistent field learning. CoE-PGN helps translate technical knowledge into modules, training, mentoring, and facilitator networks.
