Becoming a Convenor
Everyone interested in improving nutrition is invited to become a Convenor and contribute to this global programme. Convenors adopt an integrated, interdisciplinary, and exploratory approach to identifying actions that enhance nutrition. Nutrition Dialogue Convenors enable the hearing of voices, sharing of views, and discussion of actions needed to improve women’s and children’s nutrition, both by the participants themselves and by others. They will elevate these voices through the official Feedback process on this online Portal.
There are no restrictions to becoming a Convenor for a Stakeholder Dialogue event beyond adhering to the Principles of Engagement. However, those wishing to lead a Children’s Workshop event must adhere to child safeguarding standards and behaviour protocols.
It is important to note that the role of Convenor is a valuable voluntary commitment; individuals either perform it as part of their existing job or generously volunteer their time to make a meaningful impact.
The Initiating partners of the Nutrition Dialogues programme will mobilize Convenors across various localities between July and December 2024. World Vision International invites its country offices to convene Dialogues. Series of briefings will invite other organizations and networks to mobilize Convenors. Efforts to engage the public will also be made, encouraging unaffiliated local leaders to convene a Stakeholder Dialogue or a Children’s Workshop.
