Malnutrition is one of the most important constrains to achieve the Millennium Developmental Goals (MDG) since good health, cognitive development, and productivity cannot be attained without a balanced nutrition.
Good nutrition makes an essential contribution to the fight of poverty – it promotes and protects health, reduces mortality especially among children and mothers, and enables children to
benefit from school.
An increasing number of developing countries must shoulder a “double burden” of malnutrition. The double burden of malnutrition describes the persistence of undernutrition, especially among children, along with a rapid rise of overnutrition and diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary heart disease in developing countries.
Given current economic and social trends, observed changes in dietary patterns are likely to continue and – combined with changes in lifestyle, particularly the decrease in physical activity – will exacerbate emerging problems of overnutrition and diet-related chronic diseases in developing countries.
The “Summer School of International Nutrition” targets German University alumni from developing countries who are professionally involved in nutrition and interested in exchanging ideas, problem concepts and country specific approaches in the framework of rural or urban, public or private sector development, and who are working for academic or educational institutions, development organizations, NGOs, donor agencies or private enterprises.
