Nutrition Advocacy

Championing nutrition as a global priority.

Nutrition International works with governments, governing bodies, donors, partners and the public to advance the fight against malnutrition around the world. We advocate for the strategic allocation of resources for nutrition by ensuring our evidence-based interventions align with government policies and mobilize political commitment to keep nutrition a top priority on global, regional and national agendas.

Nutrition Advocacy

Shaping the global narrative on nutrition.

Last year, our advocacy efforts supported the strategic dissemination of new evidence related to the cost of inaction on nutrition, helping governments grasp the impact of nutrition investments and target resources effectively.

In Ethiopia and the Philippines, we launched two advocacy technical assistance projects to support the government to successfully advocate for investments in nutrition at the national and subnational levels.

In collaboration with the World Health Organization and UNICEF, we helped establish the Anaemia Action Alliance to increase awareness of the consequences of anaemia, particularly on women and girls, and to champion its prioritization among governments and institutions. Additionally, we supported the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Special Envoy by sharing insights from the previous summit and contributing to the development of the N4G 2025 Roadmap.

Our technical and advocacy experts remain actively engaged in several globally renowned advocacy coalitions and partnerships that work to elevate the nutrition needs and priorities of women and girls, including the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Civil Society Steering Committee and regional and national groups, the Closing the Nutrition Gender Gap partner group, and the N4G Outreach Group.

Looking ahead

Driving global nutrition action.

This year is a watershed moment for nutrition. Every four years, the global community comes together to pledge resources and commit to policy action on nutrition at the N4G Summit. The next summit — held in Paris in 2025 — has the potential to galvanize the political support necessary to reverse years of inaction and stagnation on nutrition. We will continue to push for ambitious and measurable action. We will also continue to work with our partners at the African Union, ASEAN and other regional bodies to make sure nutrition stays at the top of the global agenda.
