Meet CODA, a WFP Innovation designed to streamline nutrition progamming, monitoring and reporting. 🍎 Our collaborators at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) recently took a closer look at CODA with World Food Programme colleagues in #SouthSudan to understand its strengths, opportunities for growth and potential impact 🚀 They found that CODA address some of the challenges of traditional, paper-based systems and provides better outcomes, adaptability and scalability in nutrition programming. We work closely with several academic institutions to analyse our work and understand how we can better innovate to end hunger. Thanks to the students at LSE for their dedicated time to this work! #WFPSouthSudan #WFPNutrition World Food Programme Eastern Africa
