    The ImpENSA Training Programme was developed through the combined knowledge and skills of a consortium of European and South African experts in the fields of nutrition, nutritional programming, behaviour change, psychology, education, technology enhanced/enabled learning and staff development from:

    • North-West University
    • Stellenbosch University
    • University of Cape Town
    • Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich
    • University of Southampton
    • Medical University of Warsaw
    • Association for Dietetics in South Africa
    • Nutrition Society of South Africa

    North-West University was the local coordinating partner for the ImpENSA project in South Africa. Team members from CEN and NuMIQ were involved with the analyses of the current training landscape and identifying the training needs of health care professionals, content creation and development of the online modules, implementation of the Training Programme and the evaluation thereof, as well as developing a sustainable business model. The implementation of the ImpENSA Training Programme is now being delivered through CEN.
