The aim of the ONLP is to develop leadership capability and foster connectivity in the field of nutrition across the Oceania region.
This aim will be realised through delivering leadership courses for individuals working in nutrition related fields across the Oceania region (the ONLP Course); and by building a strong and active network comprised of ONLP course alumni (the ONLP Network).
The Oceanic Nutrition Leadership Platform (ONLP) is a network of emerging and established nutrition leaders from across the Oceania region (including Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific `{`Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia`}`). The ONLP is modelled on, and forms part of, a Global Nutrition Leadership network which includes well-established and successful leadership platforms in Europe (ENLP), Africa (ANLP), South-East Asia (SEA-NLP), the Middle East (MENLP), and Latin-America (LANLP).
The common themes of these programs are training in leadership, team building and communication and establishment of a network of leaders in nutrition to ensure strong impact on community nutrition and health.

Working towards food and nutrition security in the face of major environmental, social and economic changes and challenges will be a major undertaking. Current and future nutritionists will need a new set of paradigms to achieve this vision. The ability to connect, collaborate, communicate and to influence are critical leadership skills needed to build a strong nutrition workforce that will make a difference to food and nutrition security, and ensure health and wellbeing for all.
