Invite to submit material to <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong><br />
Many people underestimate the value <strong>of</strong> their individual field experiences and<br />
how sharing them can benefit others working in the field. At ENN, we are keen<br />
to broaden the scope <strong>of</strong> individuals and agencies that contribute material for<br />
publication and to continue to reflect current field activities and experiences<br />
in emergency nutrition.<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> the articles you see in <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong> begin as a few lines in an email<br />
or an idea shared with us. Sometimes they exist as an internal report that<br />
hasn’t been shared outside an agency. The editorial team at <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong><br />
can support you in write-up and help shape your article for publication.<br />
To get started, just drop us a line. Ideally, send us (in less than 500 words) your<br />
ideas for an article for <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong>, and any supporting material, e.g. an<br />
agency report. Tell us why you think your field article would be <strong>of</strong> particular<br />
interest to <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong> readers. If you know <strong>of</strong> others who you think should<br />
contribute, pass <strong>this</strong> on – especially to government staff and local NGOs who<br />
are underrepresented in our coverage.<br />

<strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong><br />
supported by:<br />
The <strong>Emergency</strong> Nutrition Network (ENN)<br />
grew out <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> interagency meetings focusing on food and<br />
nutritional aspects <strong>of</strong> emergencies. The meetings were hosted by<br />
UNHCR and attended by a number <strong>of</strong> UN agencies, NGOs, donors<br />
and academics. The Network is the result <strong>of</strong> a shared commitment<br />
to improve knowledge, stimulate learning and provide vital<br />
support and encouragement to food and nutrition workers<br />
involved in emergencies. The ENN <strong>of</strong>ficially began operations in<br />
November 1996 and has widespread support from UN agencies,<br />
NGOs, and donor governments. The network aims to improve<br />
emergency food and nutrition programme effectiveness by:<br />
• providing a forum for the exchange <strong>of</strong> field level experiences<br />
• strengthening humanitarian agency institutional memory<br />
• keeping field staff up to date with current research and<br />
evaluation findings<br />
• helping to identify subjects in the emergency food and<br />
nutrition sector which need more research.<br />
The main output <strong>of</strong> the ENN is a tri-annual publication, <strong>Field</strong><br />
<strong>Exchange</strong>, which is devoted primarily to publishing field level<br />
articles and current research and evaluation findings relevant to<br />
the emergency food and nutrition sector.<br />
The main target audience <strong>of</strong> the publication are food and nutrition<br />
workers involved in emergencies and those researching <strong>this</strong> area.<br />
The reporting and exchange <strong>of</strong> field level experiences is central to<br />
ENN activities. ENNs five year strategy (2010-2015) is available at<br />
