Webinar Series and Other Activities on School Health & Nutrition Programs in Low Resource Countries

Several members of the FRESH Partnership are working together to gather, summarize and share knowledge about basic education, health and development programs in low resource countries. Lead organizations in this series of activities include Save the Children, Partnership for Child Development, Plan International-UK, International School Health Network, UNESCO, including the UNESCO Clearinghouse, UNODC and others. We are pleased to offer a series of webinars and several summaries of the research, reports and resources listed in the side-bars to the right..

The series is also being supported by resources and reports selected from the UNESCO Health Education Clearinghouse, the PCD Documents and Resources Collection and the development of a corresponding series of Wikipedia style summaries on the topics discussed, an extensive Bibliography/Toolbox and other online resources.Please join us online in the live sessions each month or view the recorded webinars at your leisure.
