This mandate is implemented through a Master of Science degree program in community nutrition in collaboration with the Universitas Indonesia.

This mandate is expected to form communities of practice at various levels that could advocate the importance of food and nutrition as well as initiate activities to improve the nutritional status of themselves and the people around them. This mandate consists of various learning events like short-term training, seminars, workshops, meetings, and conferences in both face-to-face and virtual modes.

We partner with government, nongovernment, academic, civic, and regional and international development institutions towards this end.
Community Development
Our community development mandate aims to encourage collective efforts and behavioral changes among members of communities to take action on food and nutrition issues and concerns that confront them through the provision of appropriate activities. We adopt an area-based approach to implement our community development activities such as in school, village, and work settings. This mandate works hand in hand with our capacity building and research mandates.
