Global Nutrition Report Launch

DC

International Food Policy Research Institute

2033 K Street, NW, Washington, DC Fourth Floor Conference Facility

Washington, United States

December 9, 2014

  • 5:15 – 6:45 pm (America/New_York)
  • 11:15 – 12:45 am (Europe/Amsterdam)
  • 3:45 – 5:15 am (Asia/Kolkata)

IFPRI is delighted to host a roundtable discussion to launch the new Global Nutrition Report in Washington, DC. 

The Global Nutrition Report, produced in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders, is the first comprehensive narrative on country-level progress toward reducing malnutrition. It covers nutrition status outcomes, program coverage, and underlying determinants such as food security and water, sanitation, and hygiene; resource allocations; and institutional and policy transformations—and calls for nutrition goals to be strongly embedded in the SDG framework.

This event will showcase the main findings of the Global Nutrition Report and highlight key data on the state of the world’s nutrition. Join us for a panel discussion moderated by Roger Thurow, author and Senior Fellow on Global Agriculture and Food at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
