The complexity of nutrition as a discipline and practice tends to be overlooked; doctors, nurses and community health workers need specific preparation or guidance to deliver the nutrition services that health facilities are expected to deliver. When nutrition professionals are unavailable for field programs, international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) may hire other workers, whose nutrition competencies may be highly variable. Studies on nutrition workforce capacity conducted in Palestine confirm the severe shortage of skilled clinical nutrition professionals. In addition, because of a shortage of nutritionists, the bulk of the nutrition interventions were done by health workers who lacked the skills to provide quality nutrition services.This project aims to enhance the clinical nutrition practice in Palestine and its role in the medical care process and has successfully achieved the following outputs:1. Assessment of academic and professional needs2. Training of academic staff and professionals and mobilization to European partner institutes3. Preparation of Clinical Nutrition manual 4. Development of Arabic food analyzer software5. Developing of Clinical Nutrition curricula 6. Development of food and nutrition laboratories7. Exposing best local students to EU reaching environment.At the longer run, the project has accomplished the following results:1. Reduced gap between academia and practical clinical nutrition sector2. Turning the focus of the stakeholders onto clinical nutrition as a component of health care process3. Knowledge and skill transfer to local nutrition workforce4. Raised community awareness towards nutrition knowledge and practice5. Networking with international academic and professional bodies
