Convening leaders from government, business and other key stakeholders to kick-off a new era of constructive partnership, this high level meeting seeks to support the accelerated achievement of the global nutrition goals.
Poor diet is the number one risk factor for early death, contributing to 20% of global deaths with the burden falling disproportionately on children under five and women of reproductive age. Each year, malnutrition is a factor in almost half of the six million deaths of children under five and 159 million children are stunted, with impacts on their physical and cognitive abilities that last a lifetime.
This dialogue seeks to support the accelerated achievement of the global nutrition goals, and broader commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals.
