Investir dans la formation initiale est une approche particulièrement efficace et durable pour améliorer les services de nutrition à grande échelle. Cependant, cela nécessite un effort de collaboration de la part de toutes les parties prenantes — ministères, établissements d’enseignement supérieur, associations professionnelles, bailleurs de fonds et experts techniques — pour s’assurer que les programmes d’études préparent les professionnels de la santé de première ligne à fournir des services de nutrition de qualité.
