🌍 Together for Nutrition: A Call for Action On September 24, 2024, World Health Organization and global partners including UNICEF UN Women The World Bank USAID Stronger Foundations for Nutrition Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement gathered at the ‘Together for Nutrition’ event during the 79th UN General Assembly. This initiative aims to boost efforts towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through improved nutrition, featuring a new collaboration model with past, present, and future 'Nutrition for Growth' (N4G) hosts. 📊 Global Malnutrition: A Critical Challenge Despite progress, global malnutrition continues to affect billions, causing nearly half of all child deaths. Women and girls are particularly impacted, with acute malnutrition rising by 25% since 2020 in the hardest-hit countries. 🤝 Unified Effort for Change The event launched new financing opportunities and called for gender-transformative actions, including the Nourish Equality initiative. Francesco Branca emphasized the need to keep nutrition a top priority globally and at regional and country levels as we work to achieve global nutrition targets. 🚀 Looking Ahead This event sets the stage for future key moments, including the Paris Nutrition for Growth Summit in March 2025, aiming to transform commitments into action for a healthier future. #Together4Nutrition #GlobalHealth #SDGs #NutritionForGrowth #ZeroHunger #WHO #UNGA79 #HealthForAll https://lnkd.in/ehjc2RwC

At the WTO Annual Agriculture Symposium 2024 Trade and Nutrition - Exploring the Nexus Un placer presentar el trabajo del Comité OTC, y los debates sobre salud y nutrición. Varios países adoptan medidas para asegurar que sus consumidores tomen decisiones informadas sobre los alimentos que adquieren. Esto incluye información nutricional y sobre salud en general. Esto es un objetivo legítimo de acuerdo a las reglas OMC. El cómo designar e implementar estas políticas es importante.

☑️ Grateful for the leadership of Brieuc PONT, Thani Mohamed-Soilihi and the Ministère des Affaires étrangères français in carrying the #NutritionforGrowth Torch! ☑️ Malnutrition, from poor childhood growth to nutrient deficiencies and obesity, leads to higher mortality rates, preventable disabilities, and impaired cognitive development. ☑️ Despite progress, global crises and climate change are exacerbating these issues. ☑️ Yet, the power of evidence-based policies and investments to improve nutrition is undeniable, with every $1 invested yielding an average return of $23. ☑️ Read the recommendations for financial and policy investments developed by the Independent Expert Panel and published by the Paris Peace Forum here: https://lnkd.in/encPz_Vr ☑️ Helen Keller Intl and Helen Keller Europe are honored to be able to support the #N4G2025 process: https://lnkd.in/esjfnC4A ☑️ Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, Stronger Foundations for Nutrition, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Micronutrient Forum, USAID, UNICEF, Raj Kumar, Tania Karas, ATNi (Access to Nutrition initiative), Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), Eleanor Crook Foundation, Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Jennifer Vanyur, Breanna Gomillion, Melanie Sudetic, MSc, RDN, Fanny YAGO-WIENNE, Benjamin des Gachons, Dr Serge Breysse, Yann ILLIAQUER

We're proud to be a part of the International Coalition for Advocacy on Nutrition (ICAN) UK, a broad array of international NGOs, advocacy organisations and foundations united around the shared goal to save and improve lives through better nutrition. Every £1 invested in nutrition returns £23 in increased productivity and decreased health and social costs. Integrating nutrition into health services is key to preventing the 45% of child deaths which are linked to malnutrition. Ahead of the Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris in March #N4GParis, ICAN are urging the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to prioritise nutrition: - 45M children suffer from wasting, the most life-threatening form of malnutrition - 1.3M under-5 deaths each year It’s time to act.

¿En qué consiste el concepto ONE HEALTH - UNA SÓLA SALUD? En lo que va de siglo XXI se ha consolidado el concepto #OneHealth (Salud Única), un concepto sanitario que define y propone un abordaje conjunto y global entre tres ámbitos interrelacionados: la salud #humana, la salud #animal y el #medioambiente. La salud humana y la salud animal están muy relacionadas, entre sí y con el ambiente que nos rodea. Más de la mitad de las enfermedades humanas transmisibles se transmiten a las personas desde los animales y hasta el 70% de los patógenos emergentes son de origen animal. En el proceso de desarrollo y transmisión de estas infecciones, el equilibrio de los ecosistemas juega un papel fundamental. El objetivo es que la salud pública, la Medicina, la sanidad, la veterinaria y las ciencias ambientales, junto con otras disciplinas, trabajen de manera conjunta para defender una única salud. Este es un concepto que se está trasladando ya a la legislación europea. Para ello, la Agencia Europea de Medio Ambiente (EEA - European Environment Agency) está trabajando con el Centro Europeo para la Prevención y el Control de Enfermedades (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)), la Agencia Europea de Productos Químicos (ECHA - European Chemicals Agency) la Autoridad Europea de Seguridad Alimentaria (European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)) y la Agencia Europea de Medicamentos (EMA - European Medicines Agency) para garantizar que el asesoramiento científico de las agencias de la UE esté cada vez más integrado y alineado con el enfoque "#OneHealth". Desde 2023, esta colaboración se ha fortalecido con la creación de un grupo de trabajo interinstitucional a nivel europeo y en mayo de 2024 se presentó el primer marco de acción de trabajo para el período 2024-2026. Una interesante iniciativa para poder tener un enfoque lo más integrado posible. ℹ️ Más información: https://lnkd.in/dBn_eVEf ℹ️ Acceso al marco de actuación conjunto "OneHealth" para 2024 - 2026: https://lnkd.in/dbY49FZk

I met Bill Gates And here’s what I learnt from him Firstly a big shoutout to Nile University of Nigeria for co-hosting the #Nutrivision2024 The event was on the Pan-African youth dialogue on Nutrition (I’m typing this so calmly but I’m totally elated that I attended this event🤭) You can watch the vlog to get a full feel of the event Now to what I learnt There are many things you can learn by just being in the same space as a Billionaire 😂 One for sure is that you need to work harder and smarter!! Here are 3 things he highlighted 1. The Power of Technology in Health: Bill Gates highlighted how emerging technologies like AI and data analytics are transforming healthcare. Specifically, they have the potential to create personalized nutrition plans for African youth, addressing malnutrition in a way that traditional healthcare cannot. 2. Cultural Relevance is Key: A major takeaway for me was the importance of designing health solutions that are culturally relevant and accessible. Gates emphasized that for tech-driven health innovations to be truly impactful, they must consider the unique dietary habits and customs of the communities they serve. 3. Sustainability Matters: We also touched on the sustainability and scalability of health solutions. Gates stressed that it’s not enough to just create effective solutions — they need to be adaptable and sustainable for the long term, ensuring they can benefit more people across Africa over time. One last thing he said that spoke to me is “Philanthropy can do things that politicians can never achieve even in the next 20 years” Don’t say I never shared anything useful, save this and share with your communities!!! #PanAfricanYouthDialogue #HealthTech #AI #Nutrition #SustainableHealth #AfricanInnovation #BillGates #YouthEmpowerment
