We are currently identifying contributing authors to update these modules. If you are interested or have suggestions, contact Carmel Dolan.
If you have materials you have produced based on the HTP modules, more detailed comments to share, or new case study material, you can upload these to the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition (SCN) facility.
The editorial team are especially keen to locate new case study material from Latin America and the Carribean, Asia and the Middle East.
