Innovative Methods and Metrics for Agriculture and Nutrition Actions (IMMANA)

Innovative Methods and Metrics for Agriculture and Nutrition Actions (IMMANA) is a £13m ($18m) five-year programme (2020-2024) which will accelerate progress on tools, data and capacity needed to guide evidence-based policy in agriculture-food systems, nutrition and health.

This second phase of IMMANA deploys a package of competitive research funding calls, career development fellowships, and a multi-disciplinary global network – the Agriculture, Nutrition and Health Academy - to stimulate the generation, validation, and sharing of cutting-edge methods, metrics and tools to solve acute problems in malnutrition and health.

IMMANA is co-funded with UK Aid from the UK government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and is led by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), in partnership with Tufts University and the University of Sheffield.
