At the heart of the Village des Solutions, the NRF booth (held with UNICEF, and GIZ-NIPN), themed “Better Data for Better Nutrition,” featured a video on the Sahel study using machine learning, and various communication materials.
The booth attracted a diverse audience, including high-level political figures, experts from private and international sectors, students, civil society members, and N4G Summit participants. Attendees showed significant interest in NRF’s work and materials.
Visitors responded positively to the booth’s activities, which included an interactive quiz, a data string installation, and printed materials. Key discussions emerged on topics such as research-policy impact measurement, citizen engagement in research, women’s empowerment, and artificial intelligence’s role in nutrition.
Strategically located at the heart of the Village des Solutions, the booth benefited from strong foot traffic. A 5m x 3m banner with the theme message enhanced visibility.
