Uganda is increasingly recognizing the importance of addressing the intersection of climate change and nutrition, with a growing number of policies and institutional actors engaging with the climate–nutrition nexus. Several policies and initiatives demonstrate that integrated action is both possible and already underway, particularly where explicit pathways, costed commitments, and system-level resilience investments are included. Institutions such as the Office of the Prime Minister, the National Planning Authority, and the Ministry of Health provide important entry points for strengthening coordination, while informal influence networks and policy windows offer additional opportunities to advance integration.

The DELIVER Nigeria project is a three-year initiative designed to enhance livelihoods and food systems resilience among smallholder vegetable farmers. Funded by the Accelerating Resilient Food Systems in Africa (ARFSA), a programme of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency commissioned by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it builds on the achievements of the SDGP project (2019–2024). DELIVER Nigeria applies a three-pronged approach focused on supply, demand, and access to finance. Since its launch in July 2024, implementation has progressed steadily through partner mobilization, field entry, and the roll-out of key interventions.

Workplace food provision represents a significant opportunity to improve diet quality among working-age adults. This working paper synthesises cross-country experience from GAIN-supported programmes in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Uganda on how improved workplace menus have been assessed, designed, and operationalised.

The health effects of chemical exposure depend not only on the hazard itself, but also on the body’s capacity
to defend, adapt, and recover. This varies between individuals and is strongly shaped by nutritional status,
making nutrition a foundational determinant of occupational health risk.
Adequate nutrition supports immune function, metabolic regulation, tissue repair, and detoxification processes.
Sufficient energy, protein, essential minerals, micronutrients, and antioxidants are required for the body to
maintain physiological stability and respond effectively to harmful substances. When these nutritional needs
are met, workers are better equipped to withstand and recover from ongoing occupational exposures.

Uganda increasingly recognises the importance of addressing the intersection of climate change and nutrition, with emerging efforts demonstrating that integrated action is both possible and already underway. However, climate shocks, including droughts, floods, and pest outbreaks, continue to disrupt food production, dietary diversity, water access, and disease patterns, ultimately undermining nutrition outcomes.

In May 2023, every Member State at the World Health Assembly resolved to accelerate safe and effective foodfortification. Nourishing Progress highlights meaningful progress, growing momentum and emerging opportunities since the resolution's adoption, and the growing coalition of governments, industry, patient associations, and health professionals driving this agenda forward. Anchored in a landmark Lancet Global Health analysis modeling the current and potential impact of large-scale food fortification programs, the report celebrates the progress made since the 2023 WHA resolution and outlines the growing global momentum towards transformative impact.

Chemical exposure is a growing occupational health concern as industrialization and technological change increase workers’ contact with hazardous substances. While occupational safety and health frameworks focus on managing exposure, they do not fully address chemicals that accumulate in the body and weaken immune function. Chemical exposure and poor nutrition can reinforce each other, increasing vulnerability to illness Integrating workforce nutrition into chemical risk management strengthens resilience, supports immunity, and provides an additional layer of protection for workers.

Ensuring access to safe food is one of the core goals of food systems, yet millions of people worldwide get sick from unsafe food every year. This case study examines the development and adoption of international guidelines for food safety – specific to the traditional markets where many lower-income-country consumers buy their
food. It shows how considering the needs and challenges of specific contexts when formulating guidelines or more formal policies can make for a more equitable enabling environment for food system transformation.
