This USAID Institutional Capacity Building (ICB) grant-funded workshop will focus on three main themes:
1. Roll-Out of Nutrition Counseling Approach – Presentation and discussion
of core nutrition and counseling in the context of HIV/AIDS, including
concepts and how to successful operationalize this approach in a field
setting or training.
2. Small Group Case Study and Inter-Active Work – Presentation and small
group discussion of nutrition counseling approach information to reinforce
principles, concepts and demonstrate understanding.
3. New Product Knowledge and Use – Presentation and discussion of the role
of sourcing of nontraditional Title II commodities to respond to
nutritional interventions targeting beneficiaries vulnerable to or people
living with HIV/AIDS.
By the end of this workshop, you should be able to understand the need for
