SEAMEO RECFON is one of the 21 SEAMEO Centers in the Southeast Asia region and one of the 6 SEAMEO Centers in Indonesia. Formerly, the Center is known as SEAMEO Tropical Medicine and Public Health/ TROPMED Regional Center in Community Nutrition/RCCN. Rapid development of nutrition science including the need on comprehensive and multidisciplinary approaches to handle the multifacets of current nutrition problems is one of the main rationales of the changing into SEAMEO RECFON in early 2011.
