Reimagining the Private Sector’s Role in Addressing Undernutrition

All nutrition stakeholders recognize that in this N4G Year of Action we need to mobilise commitments from all sectors to address rising rates of undernutrition and a growing financing gap.

Businesses have a critical role to play, given not only their resources but their role in the marketplace, their impact on livelihoods and communities, their reach and their expertise changing social behaviours and driving change.

This solutions-focused dialogue will cover the role of the private sector in addressing undernutrition. It will acknowledge successful examples of where companies have contributed to transforming social nutrition and will prompt open conversation on new ways the private and public sectors can align on global goals and work effectively together to achieve them.
