Our strategic objectives
Working with and within the system to bring about positive change in specific areas of work, ENN's strategic objective is a sector where the work of all practitioners is shaped and served by the best possible policy, research and practice, and that this ultimately reduces the incidence and impact of malnutrition.
All our work is guided by the priorities and realities of local practitioners working in challenging contexts worldwide and our network of collaborators. Working towards collective goals, ENN is committed to contributing to the collective achievement of global nutrition targets.

Our focus
We focus on those most at risk of the life-limiting consequences of malnutrition, whether by geography (countries with the highest burden of malnutrition), crisis or age.
We concentrate on the areas where we can best add value; where there are the greatest challenges in practice, and gaps in awareness, learning and evidence.
We look across the life cycle, to identify opportunities of how best to disrupt patterns of malnutrition and reduce risks.
This approach has led to the following current priority and interconnected technical areas:
- Small and nutritionally at-risk infants (under 6 months) and their mothers (MAMI)
- Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E)
- Wasting and Stunting (WaSt)
- Adolescents
- Women’s Nutrition
To strengthen the relevance of all we do, ENN also works on emerging broader issues that disrupt systems and exacerbate vulnerabilities and susceptibilities to malnutrition, such as climate change, food systems, conflict and pandemics.
