Nutrition is a critical part of health and development. Better nutrition is related to improved infant, child and maternal health, stronger immune systems, safer pregnancy and childbirth, lower risk of non-communicable diseases (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease), and longevity.

With a strong commitment to contribute to population development and well-being, CIIC-HIN seeks to explore areas of improvement in Nutrition, advance science in nutrition using available and state of art tools and products, translate knowledge generated through research and implementation science to contribute to policy development in Rwanda and beyond.
