One Young World in partnership with DSM invites applicants for Improved Foods Scholarship for the One Young World Summit 2021 in Munich, Germany.
The scholarships build on DSM’s vision to enable better food, health, and nutrition for all. DSM has partnered with IFC, CDC, FMO, Government of Rwanda and the World Food Programme to launch the Africa Improved Foods (AIF) partnership, which is an innovative public-private partnership making nutritious fortified foods locally in Africa for Africa with the objective of ending malnutrition.
