Increased % nutrition-sensitive projects and programmes

FAO pledges to increase integration of nutrition into global, regional and country level initiatives with the potential for impacting nutrition outcomes (increase nutrition sensitivity of FAO's work). This pledge aligns with the Global Compact on Nutrition Integration, which FAO supports. FAO’s approach to nutrition is through strengthening agrifood systems’ ability to enhance nutrition outcomes. FAO provides support to policy, programmes, and investments with the potential to impact nutrition outcomes. FAO aims to strengthen nutrition-sensitive approaches through integration of nutrition considerations in all aspects of the Organization’s work, including initiatives in the sectors of agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and climate change and natural resource management. Furthermore, FAO's Strategic Framework supports the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through the transformation to MORE efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no-one behind. FAO’s mission in nutrition is to tackle malnutrition in all its forms by accelerating impactful policies and actions across agrifood systems to enable healthy diets for all. Therefore, special emphasis will be in supporting women and girls for inclusive agricultural and rural development and in supporting nutrition integration into social protection and emergency programming to enable those experiencing the most vulnerability to benefit from FAO’s work in nutrition. Smart statement #1: By 2030, FAO will increase the percentage of nutrition-sensitive projects and programmes by 50 percent over the 2020-21 baseline.
