Invite to submit material to <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong> Many people underestimate the value <strong>of</strong> their individual field experiences and how sharing them can benefit others working in the field. At ENN, we are keen to broaden the scope <strong>of</strong> individuals and agencies that contribute material for publication and to continue to reflect current field activities and experiences in emergency nutrition. Many <strong>of</strong> the articles you see in <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong> begin as a few lines in an email or an idea shared with us. Sometimes they exist as an internal report that hasn’t been shared outside an agency. The editorial team at <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong> can support you in write-up and help shape your article for publication. To get started, just drop us a line. Ideally, send us (in less than 500 words) your ideas for an article for <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong>, and any supporting material, e.g. an agency report. Tell us why you think your field article would be <strong>of</strong> particular interest to <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong> readers. If you know <strong>of</strong> others who you think should contribute, pass <strong>this</strong> on – especially to government staff and local NGOs who are underrepresented in our coverage. Send <strong>this</strong> and your contact details to: Marie McGrath, Sub-editor/<strong>Field</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong>, email: marie@ennonline.net Mail to: ENN, 32 Leopold Street, Oxford, OX4 1TW, UK.

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