Dear All
The German Federal Ministry for Education and Research has issued a call to submit research proposals on Biofuel Production and Aquaculture in Developing Countries especially in Eastern Africa. I have been contacted by a German University asking for contacts with potential partners in Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique
Of interest are Universities and Research Centers with some experience in Aquaculture Research and/or Biofuel production based on sugarcane cultivation. The University would offer cooperation in joined research projects and an exchange of students / graduates.
Furthermore the University is looking for privately owned (SME) companies producing bio-ethanol and which would allow the University to operate a pilot plant for further processing of the resulting vinasse (process residues).
In case you have any ideas please let me know!

A new edition and future action |
14 December 2011
Dear friend and colleague,
For those of you who have not yet had the opportunity to explore the WHO electronic Library of Nutrition Actions (eLENA), the first English version of eLENA was launched on August 10th (www.who.int/elena), new nutrition actions were added in the October edition and a new version has been released TODAY. The December edition includes new nutrition intervention topics such as: salt iodization, continued breastfeeding as well as biofortification.
A complementary web platform, the Global database on the Implementation of Nutrition Action (GINA) is under development and will become available in 2012. GINA will allow anybody to contribute and retrieve information on the implementation of nutrition policy and actions. This online database will be an interactive and multilingual tool that graphically displays what is happening where, when, with whom, why and how.
GINA has started its first phase with the collection of action data (see www.who.int/nutrition/gina) and the building of a user community. We thus would like to invite you to upload your information on the implementation of nutritional actions by clicking on the link within this web page. Your contributions will later be displayed through the GINA platform which will also allow to filter for your organization as implementing partner. Thanks in advance for your contributions.
Please send the names and email addresses of colleagues who would be interested in finding out more about eLENA and GINA to nutrition@who.int.
Learn more about global nutrition health challenges and the WHO response at: www.who.int/nutrition.
Sincerely,
Francesco Branca
Director, WHO Nutrition for Health and Development |
