Course Overview
Scope on food security and nutrition projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. Projects involving nutrition projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. It is written for people who have to make this strand of project and portfolio delivery work with the resources they already have. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from food security and nutrition projects, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The professional literature on the project and portfolio delivery discipline converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Participants finish able to explain nutrition projects to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The programme converts food security and nutrition projects from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The version of nutrition projects described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of project and portfolio delivery survives a hostile question.
