Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation (part of Wageningen University and Research) offers a wide range of courses which will help you to develop the capacities, leadership qualities needed to be creative, adaptive and responsive to the dynamics of a rapidly changing world.

The courses connect the technical and scientific expertise of the Wageningen University and Research with cutting-edge processes of innovation and learning. Whether you are a development practitioner, an entrepreneur, or a policy-maker, our highly interactive training methods stimulate you to reflect and share your experiences to generate new insights.

There are an estimated 805 million people undernourished in the world, who go to bed hungry every day. One in eight persons world-wide suffers from life-long negative impact of undernutrition. Children are the most obvious victims. Not only increased morbidity and mortality is observed, but also learning disabilities, delayed cognitive development and poor health. During the course of life not only a decreased productivity and income-generating are documented but also increased health risks, such as increased risk on birth complications and obesity are being observed, exposing the future generation of children to the same risks.

Today, markets have become mainstream instruments for poverty reduction, smallholder inclusion and increased food & nutrition security. However, market dynamics, failures and shortcomings often diminish the desired impacts and/or long term effects. This international course shows participants to which extent and in which manner markets can be used to induce and prolong positive change.
