In June 2012, the Partnership for Child Development (PCD), Imperial College London, in partnership with the Eastern and Southern African Centre for International Parasite Control (ESACIPAC) and West African Centre for International Parasite Control (WACIPAC), delivered the 8th Annual Short Course on Strengthening Contemporary School Health, Nutrition and HIV Prevention Programmes at the Sun ’n’ Sand Beach Resort in Kilifi, Kenya. The course, as in previous years, aimed to contribute to the evidence base and build capacity amongst participants and their respective countries in school health, nutrition (SHN) and HIV prevention to further contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and Global Partnership for Education’s Education for All movement. This report presents a detailed overview of the course and provides some recommendations and next steps.
