Hurray for the 2023-24 round of #IMMANAFellowships , building up the amazing Agriculture, Nutrition & Health Academy through London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine Tufts Nutrition and many partners worldwide, funded by Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and Gates Foundation. A joy and privilege for us to be able to support every one of these emerging leaders.
