Nutrition is fundamental for sustainable development: it is the fuel that empowers children to learn, adults to work, and communities to thrive. In humanitarian emergencies, nutrition is the difference between life and death. Yet, every country on the planet is affected by malnutrition in one form or another, and 2.8 billion people are unable to afford a diet that meets their body’s nutrient needs.
In this Strategy (2024 – 2030) WFP lays out its vision to reduce malnutrition during humanitarian emergencies; increase the consumption of healthy, nutritious diets among those most at risk of malnutrition; strengthen national nutrition systems and capacities; and influence social norms to support healthy, nutritious diets.
The Strategy sets out how WFP will optimise opportunities to integrate nutrition activities and objectives across its global operations; use data, evidence, and analytics to make most effective use of resources; and work in partnership to support sustainable solutions.
