EMERGENCY NUTRITION NETWORK (ENN) LAUNCHES FIELD EXCHANGE ISSUE 77: STRENGHTENING NUTRITION ACTION AMID GROWING CONSTRAINTS Kidlington, UK, 29th April 2026 – The Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) today launched issue 77 of Field Exchange, its flagship publication focussed on nutrition in emergencies and high-burden malnutrition contexts. This issue brings together learnings on nutrition implementation at a time of tightening budgets, growing needs, and shifting political priorities. Across a variety of contexts, articles in this issue highlight how smarter design, stronger partnerships and innovative tools are supporting nutrition programmes as we find we need to do more with less. There are also perspectives from Pakistan and United Against Malnutrition and Hunger underlining why nutrition must remain a political priority, even as fiscal space tightens and competing crises grow. Some of the themes running through this issue include the pursuit of programme efficiency, strategic partnerships, and sustainable systems strengthening. Nutrition programmes worldwide are currently navigating complex constraints while simultaneously innovating to deliver effective, context-specific responses and articles in this issue reflect such realities. It also includes articles with experience from different emergency contexts, reflecting both current and protracted crises. Such as responding to infant feeding in emergencies in Ukraine and the Philippines, analyses of nutrition programme costing models in Mali, as well as understanding the implications of cost of diet modelling in Afghanistan. “Issue 77 demonstrates that nutrition resilience lies in smarter design, cross-sector collaboration, and evidence-based adaptation. ” said Nigel Tricks, CEO, Emergency Nutrition Network. “The programmes featured here suggest that even in highly constrained environments, we can deliver efficient, scalable, and sustainable nutrition impact. ” Issue 77 of Field Exchange is available online for free. Practitioners, donors, policymakers, and researchers are invited to read the full issue and access individual articles at: www. ennonline. net/fex/77.
