When children are properly nourished
they can grow up to be healthy and productive. When children are healthy and productive
their families, communities, and countries
become stronger. That’s why 65 countries around the world have
committed to making nutrition a priority. And why global partners are working
together to support the efforts of
the countries. Together, we can achieve
what no single effort could,
and make the world a healthier,
stronger place for us all.

Investing in nutrition delivers $23 for every $1 spent. aAnd when women and girls benefit directly, returns increase by over 50%.

Yet women and girls still face higher food insecurity and poorer diets worldwide.

This , Rights. Justice. Action. means ensuring every woman and girl can access nutritious food and essential services.

Because when women and girls are well nourished, everyone thrives.

Anaemia affects nearly 1 in 3 adolescent girls globally. It's not just a health statistic, it's a barrier to school, to opportunity, to a fair future.

But it's not inevitable. Girls in Indonesia, Tanzania, and Pakistan are being equipped to claim their health and their futures.

This , we stand for exactly that. Rights. Justice. Action. For all women and girls.

Obesity is not a “rich country” problem anymore.

It’s a disease rising fastest where healthy food is hardest to afford.

When ultra-processed food is the cheapest option, this isn’t about personal choice.
It’s about broken food systems.

And systems can change.

Across SUN countries, leaders are taking action:

🇹🇿 Tanzania is taxing sugary drinks to encourage healthier diets.
🇵🇭 The Philippines is helping consumers spot unhealthy ultra-processed foods.
🇿🇲 Zambia launched the “Good Food Logo” to make healthier choices easier.

On , we stand with the countries redesigning food systems, so healthy diets are within reach for everyone.

What if the barrier to better nutrition isn't a lack of knowledge, but a lack of accessible tools to share it? 💡

In , frontline workers were reaching families every day, but existing nutrition materials were too technical and disconnected from local food realities.

Here is where the Nutrition and Food Security Alliance of Namibia's "Nutrition for Health" comes in.

A new training approach that is improving the way parents feed their children and how communities understand and can improve their own food systems.

Women farmers help feed the world.

In many SUN countries, they are the backbone of our agrifood systems.
👩‍🌾 In Nepal, 64% of agrifood workers are women
👩‍🌾 In Bolivia, 54% of agrifood workers are women
👩‍🌾 In Bangladesh, 45% of agrifood workers are women
👩‍🌾 In Afghanistan, 34% agrifood workers are women
👩‍🌾 In Senegal, 66% of agrifood workers are women and
👩‍🌾 In sub-Saharan Africa, where the majority of SUN countries are located, 50% of agrifood workers are women

Yet women employed in agricultural systems earn just 78 cents for every dollar men earn, and have less access to land, credit, and technology.

Closing these gender gaps could lift 45 million people out of food insecurity and add $1 trillion to global GDP.

During the International Year of the Woman Farmer, the SUN Movement stands with women across 67 countries.

Leaders must invest in equitable policies, fair wages, and equal access to resources.

Between 2023–2024, Africa saw the sharpest rise in food costs globally, turning nutritious food into an unaffordable luxury.

Over 1 billion people across the continent cannot afford a healthy diet. In low-income countries, that’s 72% of the population.

Already, 1 in 5 people are undernourished (and climate shocks are making this worse).

Short-term aid is not enough ✖️ .

On the margins of the African Union Summit, leaders are coming together at the High-Level Side Event on Child Survival and Nutrition to recommit to prevention, placing at the center of efforts to save lives.

Because preventing malnutrition is key to ensuring child survival, and to building a healthier, more resilient future for all.

What we choose to prioritize in systems says a lot about who we’re building them for⚕️.

When is embedded from the start, especially for women and young children, health services become more effective and more equitable.

That’s why SUN countries are taking decisive action, including strengthening protections for breastfeeding and supporting families at the front line of care.

This is about making health systems work better, earlier, and for everyone.
