At ENN, we enhance the effectiveness of policy and programming by capturing and exchanging knowledge and experiences, convening actors and networks and by carrying out research to improve knowledge, stimulate learning and build evidence. Our vision is that every individual caught up in a nutritional emergency, or suffering from malnutrition anywhere in the world, receives the most effective help possible.

We are committed to further broadening our research collaborations and in particular we wish to support the increased localisation of research by establishing more partnerships in countries affected by a high burden of undernutrition. Our research engagement principles and practices are grounded in fair and collaborative partnerships to co-create evidence, in representative authorship, recognising each partner’s full contributions and with an emphasis on open access research outputs. We believe that robust scientific evidence which impacts and informs national and international policy and practice must build from national capacities and collaborative research partnerships. This includes engaging policy makers and practitioners at the outset in order to better support and shape the research process and approach. 

In essence, we prioritise evidence-based research that drives practical solutions for people working in nutritional emergencies - and we are looking for more researcher partners to get involved. Read our full Research Partner Brief here or click the attachment below.
