The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is pleased to host the 24th Annual Martin J. Forman Memorial Lecture. The event commemorates the significant impact on international nutrition by Martin J. Forman, who headed the Office of Nutrition at USAID for more than 20 years. The annual lecturer is invited to present his or her personal, often unconventional, views about large issues dealing with malnutrition.

In his presentation, Michael Anderson (video), the Chief Executive Officer at the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, makes the case for a decade of action on data to capitalize on new momentum and energy for urgent action on nutrition. He will outline a new diet, a Data Diet, which brings together some of the best ideas and practices in the nutrition community. From diagnostics, implementation, tracking and  accountability, the Data Diet offers the most advanced and proven approach yet to curing malnutrition.
