Profile
I’m a Sudanese expatriate living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I work at the College of Applied Medical Sciences as a Professor of Human Nutrition for developing the “national nutrition policy for the Kingdom o Saudi Arabia (KSA)“.I have previously consulted by UNICEF and the Federal Ministry o Health FMOH (2008) to develop the “national nutrition policy and strategies for implementation for the Republic of Sudan“. I have also consulted by the FAO, (2005) to develop the “Sudan Nutrition Country Profile” . And consulted by the WFP to develop the “Food, Nutrition and HIV Strategy (2010–2014) for North Sudan“. I strive to make life of our communities better and healthier through empowering nutritionist to assume leadership skills and qualities through nutrition education, training and knowledge sharing. In that regard, I have established (2001) the “Nutrition Center for Training and Research, NCTR” at Ahfad University for Women, Sudan basically, to train nutritionist and health graduates at the post-graduate level (Higher Diploma, MS and PhD). My favorite field is the area of “Nutrition in Emergency” and I have done many research and training programs particularly the community-based Management of Malnutrition (CMAM) and other related programs targeting NGOs, Government employees and students. I have led teams (2003) to write two Books in “Family Sciences” (Nutrition & Health) which are now being taught to Students at the Secondary Schools in Sudan for about 10 years.
