Since NAFSAN’s Urban Gardening and Nutrition Project（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOXAP1TuY4w） in 2020, we have been developing a comprehensive and highly participatory training on “Nutrition for Health – Embracing our Namibian Food Systems”（https://www.nafsan.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/N4H-Manual_July2024.pdf）, which includes a manual for facilitators, flipcharts/slides, other facilitation tools and informative handouts for participants . Nutrition for Health（https://www.nafsan.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Namibia-action-brief.pdf） now also features（https://scalingupnutrition.org/resource-library/action-brief/nutrition-health-embracing-our-namibian-food-systems） in the global SUN Movement’s Action Brief on Namibia（https://scalingupnutrition.org/resource-library/action-brief/nutrition-health-embracing-our-namibian-food-systems）.
With strong financial and technical support fromGIZ Namibia’s Farming-for-Resilience (F4R) Project（https://www.giz.de/en/worldwide/97268.html） and in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS)（https://mhss.gov.na/）, the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform (MAWLR)（https://mhss.gov.na/）, the University of Namibia (UNAM)（https://www.unam.edu.na/）, the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST)（https://www.nust.na/） and with the involvement of UNICEF（https://www.unicef.org/namibia/）, WHO（https://www.afro.who.int/countries/namibia） and WFP（https://www.wfp.org/countries/namibia）, this innovative training approach was tested, piloted and finalised, with the first groups of facilitators having been successfully trained in March 2023（https://www.nafsan.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Nutrition-T4F-Report_March-2023_final.pdf）.
Since May 2023, over 530 N4H-Facilitators from different CSOs and government have been trained by NAFSAN（https://www.nafsan.org/vision-mission-aims/） and/or GIZ-F4R（https://www.giz.de/en/worldwide/97268.html）, having reached a total of over 50,000 community members across all 14 regions of Namibia so far.
