This talk by Prof. Sylvester R. Moyo from the Namibian University of Science and Technology (NUST) is part of: “Namibia’s Journey Towards Nutrition and Food Security” – A series of engagement talks to share insights, experiences and ideas on how to ensure optimal nutrition for everyone in Namibia.

On 21 April 2021, Prof. Moyo – founding Dean of the Faculty of Health and Applied Sciences at NUST and founding Board Member of NAFSAN, opened up the floor and gave a quick rundown on how programs under the new faculty started, with great emphasis on the Bachelor of Human Nutrition, which was initiated in 2017 with the help from UNICEF, WHO, WFP and the Namibian Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS). The programme is also offered as an Honours degree, and he was particularly excited to announce that the university will be releasing their first cohort of nutritionists into the working environment as from this year!

As one of the significant future projects, he highlighted the envisioned Center of Excellence in Human Nutrition at NUST.

His talk was followed by an interactive session with comments and questions from the audience.
