Course Curriculum

The Right to Food and Nutrition in Africa

Introduction and Background

This document presents a Draft Curriculum for a Short Course on the Right to Food and Nutrition in Africa. FIAN International, a human rights organization that advocates for the realization of the right to food and nutrition around the world has taken a keen interest in dealing with the gap of knowledge for key actors in the area of food and nutrition. As such, in May 2019, FIAN International commissioned two experts from the School of Law at Makerere University in Uganda to develop a short course on the Right to Food and Nutrition in Africa with the aim of helping practitioners working in this thematic area to understand the environmental, economic, socio-cultural and political landscape affecting the right to food and nutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa, and further equip them with new conceptual thinking to sustain the present and future food and nutritional needs of the region.
