A reminder that as part of the launch of Best Bets: Emerging Opportunities for Impact at Scale, IPA will be holding a Best Bets Webinar focused on Small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) to reduce stunting, online this Thursday, January 25, 2024. Thank you to all who have already registered for the webinar. We look forward to your participation.

Rustici Endowed Chair in Applied Human Nutrition at UC Davis and Steering Committee member of the SQ-LNS Task Force; and Philomena Irene, Nutrition Specialist at UNICEF implementing the SQ-LNS program in Nigeria.
