About the Global Nutrition Report
The Global Nutrition Report (GNR) is the world’s leading independent assessment of the state of global nutrition. We provide the best available data, in-depth analysis and expert opinion rooted in evidence to help drive action on nutrition where it is urgently needed.
A multi-stakeholder initiative comprised of global institutions, the GNR is led by experts in the field of nutrition. The GNR was established in 2014 following the first Nutrition for Growth summit, as an accountability mechanism to track progress against global nutrition targets and the commitments made to reach them.
Through a comprehensive report, the Nutrition Accountability Framework, interactive Country Nutrition Profiles and Nutrition for Growth Commitment Tracking, the GNR sheds light on the burden of malnutrition and highlights progress and working solutions to tackle malnutrition around the world.
We are a unifying voice, designed for and with the communities who can act. By informing the nutrition debate, we inspire action to create a world free from malnutrition in all its forms.
Our vision: A world free from malnutrition in all its forms.
Our mission: The Global Nutrition Report drives greater action to end malnutrition in all its forms.
Our goal: To inform, shape and inspire action with data and evidence on policy, practice and financing which result in greater accountability and progress in tackling poor diets and malnutrition globally.

The mid-term review covered the GNR programme from 2018 to 2021 and focused on assessing how the process of the GNR influences the relevance, coherence and effectiveness of the GNR.
