Ezechiel NDAHAYO, RDN

Through Global Health Focus; as a Global Health Leader, I am equipped with current trends, issues, challenges and debates in global health with a critical understanding of health determinants and values, knowledge and skills needed in global health leadership. This steamed my enthusiasm and interest in Health System for better understanding currently available Health system efforts and gap. This could provide valuable recommendations to policy makers and other health actors.

Now as a final-year bachelor's student in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, I have had experiences in clinical nutrition where we mostly emphasized on nutrition interventions of different health conditions for therapeutic purposes (from nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention planning and communicating to the multidisciplinary team, Implementation and Evaluation) Just more than three years: we are now back in community in preventive nutrition programs. This final year onsite internship where we work with all Organizations, both governmental and non-governmental organizations equip us with full understanding and practical work experience on designing nutrition program, its implementation processes, monitoring and evaluation, and setting up the parameters that guide the evaluation of the outcomes, impacts and overall effectiveness of the program. Now, you know what? I have completed this. After a long stand on the clinical/ dietetic part of my career, I have been privileged to be a nutritionist internee at World Vision Rwanda, Akagera Cluster working on the "POSITIVE DEVIANCE (PDH) HEARTH PROJECT" The project targets all children in the rehabilitation phase for acute malnutrition. My responsibilities involved the overall project implementation supervision by working with community members, community health workers, and CARITAS Rwanda. Then I worked on monitoring and evaluation of the project, considering key evaluation indicators, and tracking overall successful stories from the target communities. During the time of two months as an internee at World Vision Rwanda, Akagera cluster, I had opportunities to have hands-on experience with what World Vision is working on in the community. I am open to any other opportunities ahead.
