Kate Sadler is a public nutritionist with 15 years of experience in the design, management and evaluation of nutrition interventions in sub Saharan Africa. Kate completed an MSc in Public Nutrition at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in 1997 and went on to work for Concern Worldwide as a nutritionist in several countries in Africa, including Ethiopia, Rwanda and Burundi. At Feinstein Kate worked on several projects including the community case management of severe acute malnutrition in Bangladesh; linking livestock interventions to child health and nutrition in pastoralist areas of Africa; and the strengthening of nutrition across multi-sectoral programs (including HIV, health and livelihoods) in Ethiopia.
Kate completed her doctorate in 2008 with the Institute of Child Health, University College London and Valid International (VI). For this her work focused on improving approaches for the identification and treatment of children and adults suffering from acute malnutrition. In her position at VI she is now supporting development of an innovative and applied research strategy that addresses important gaps in the area of under-nutrition.
