Commitment

Investing in nutrition interventions

Donor government / Ireland

January 2026 — December 2029

Description

Ireland commits to spending €250 million annually for four years (2026-2029) on nutrition-specific and sensitive interventions, as measured by the OECD DAC's nutrition policy marker. This commitment includes €96 million for child wasting. The principle of reaching the furthest behind first, including women and girls, underpins our commitment.
