Number of People with improved nutrition (millions)

In order to achieve this commitment, IFAD has prepared a Nutrition Action Plan (2019-2025), to be updated for the period 2026-2031. IFAD's NAP includes a number of activities at all level of the food system. In particular, IFAD works to increase the production of nutritious food for market and self-consumption, reduce food waste and loss, promote neglected and underutilized species, improve rural infrastructure (water supply, storage, markets and roads), increase awareness on healthy diet, implement nutrition education and SBCC campaigns, build capacities of stakeholders and policy makers on nutrition-sensitive agriculture at national and local level, support multistakeholder coordination. Special focus is on building climate resilience, gender equity, youth inclusion as well as Indigenous Peoples' food systems. IFAD will also partner with other UN agencies, CSOs, private sectors and research organisations.
