Action to stop global hunger is more important than ever.
That's why we've launched a petition in collaboration with other Civil Society Organisations to demand the UK government takes action;
In March, the French government will host the Nutrition for Growth Summmit. This summit is the flagship international pledging conference on global nutrition hosted every four years by the Paralympic and Olympic host country. The summit will be a key global moment for the UK government to take action on global hunger.
We are asking the UK government to commit to:
- Invest at least £500 million in nutrition-specific programmes between 2025-30.
- Maximise the impact of spending in other key areas, including health, agriculture and climate by ensuring that £2.5 billion of Official Development Assistance is nutrition-sensitive between 2025-30.
- Set an ambition to reach at least 50 million women and adolescent girls with nutrition interventions by 2030 and report yearly on how many people are reached.
- Integrate nutrition across development sectors, to make meaningful progress in tackling the underlying causes of malnutrition.
- Build on the UK's nutrition policy expertise by partnering with governments and research institutions to fund research in key areas such as preventing malnutrition and child wasting.
