We are at a pivotal moment in the fight against malnutrition. With millions of lives still at risk from preventable nutrition deficiencies, Nutrition International is stepping up significantly by focusing its impact, connecting efforts across the globe and aligning partners and stakeholders around shared, timebound goals. Our team brings a rare blend of talent, expertise and experience to deliver essential nutrition interventions, bridge research gaps with compelling data, and advocate for increase prioritization and investment, solidifying our position as a global powerhouse of nutrition action.
For more than three decades, Nutrition International has served as an expert ally to governments around the world, driving sustainable improvements in health and nutrition that have advanced health, equality and human capital outcomes. More babies are being born to healthier mothers and more children have been protected from common life-threatening illnesses, enabling them to stay in school and grow up to pursue better jobs and greater opportunities. Better nutrition also reduces public spending, with a clear link between investments in nutrition and health outcomes later in life, as well as the tangible impacts in advancing wellbeing across the globe.
The progress made this year would not have been possible without the commitment of the global nutrition community. Working together, we can end one of the world’s most significant injustices – malnutrition. There is much more to be done. We have the tools, the knowledge and the resolve. Now, we must harness our efforts to ensure no one is left behind in the final sprint toward achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire organization, we remain dedicated to supporting Nutrition International and its mission as it continues to grow, creating a better world, building a brighter future and transforming lives through the power of improved nutrition.
Kind regards,
DAVID DE FERRANTI
Board Chair, Nutrition International
