Welcome – President

Dear Valued Sponsors and Funders,

It is my great honour, as President of the Federation of African Nutrition Societies (FANUS), to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to you as we prepare for the 2027 FANUS Nutrition Conference in the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa.

Your generous support and strategic partnership will make this landmark event possible. Hosted by the Nutrition Society of South Africa (NSSA) from 18–21 October 2027 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, the conference will bring together nutrition scientists, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders from across Africa and beyond. Together, we will address critical nutrition challenges, share cutting-edge research, foster meaningful collaborations, and advance sustainable solutions for better nutrition and health across our continent.
Your contribution will go far beyond financial support. It will enable us to create a high-impact platform that strengthens African-led nutrition science, build capacity, and drive real-world solutions to malnutrition in all its forms. We will be deeply grateful for your continued trust and investment in FANUS’s mission to promote excellence in nutrition research, education, and practice throughout Africa.

Whether you are a long-standing partner or joining us for the first time, please know that your presence and support will be highly valued by our entire federation and the wider nutrition community.

During the conference, we look forward to highlighting the vital role you play and providing dedicated opportunities for you to engage with delegates, showcase your initiatives, and connect with Africa’s leading nutrition experts.

Once again, thank you for believing in FANUS and for your invaluable commitment to improving nutrition outcomes in Africa. We will be excited to welcome you to Cape Town and trust you will have a productive, inspiring, and memorable experience at the 2027 FANUS Nutrition Conference.

With sincere appreciation and warm regards,

Dr Robert Fungo
President
Federation of African Nutrition Societies (FANUS)
