Emergency Nutrition Coordination Unit

The Emergency Nutrition Coordination Unit (ENCU) is a specialized team that manages and oversees nutrition response efforts during emergencies, such as disasters or crises. Its role is to ensure that affected populations receive adequate nutritional support, particularly vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women. The ENCU coordinates with government agencies, humanitarian organizations, and local communities to plan, implement, and monitor nutrition programs efficiently. By doing so, it helps prevent malnutrition, supports recovery, and ensures that emergency nutrition interventions are effective, timely, and aligned with overall relief efforts.
