It’s been a busy time for the GNC and the Alliance – we’ve launched our new strategy for the next four years and a number of new initiatives, in the midst of unprecedented ongoing crises and GNC support to countries such as Ethiopia, Haiti and Afghanistan. More now than ever, the Nutrition Cluster is evolving in its mission to support countries with operational and technical expertise for Nutrition in Emergencies coordination.
