The Specialized Food Aid Community of Practice is a group of experts across government, the academy, industry, donors, and international food aid programming agencies that meets monthly to discuss emerging issues in food aid evidence and programming. It is organized by members of USAID and includes individuals from UNICEF, World Food Programme, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as academics and physicians. This was the second in-person meeting in Washington DC and focused on alternative ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) formulations. Several individuals outside of the CoP were invited to give lectures on this topic. Dr. Kevin Stephenson was asked to discuss two novel RUTF recipes which were designed with high protein quality in mind.
