Overarching commitment (for commitments submitted pre-2025)
Title
Closing the micronutrient gap
Description
We commit to helping to fill the current nutrient gap of 800 million people by 2030 through fortified staples and public health supplements, together with our cross-sector partners. This impact is significant as we strive to reach the third of the world's population that is currently lacking adequate nutrition, scaling up from the few hundred million people that we reach today.
Right now, more than one in four people worldwide are suffering from micronutrient deficiencies. Many live in low- and middle-income countries, and they often include women and children. Every child has the right to reach their full potential, for this, it is essential to receive the right nutrients and vitamins during their first 1,000 days of life.
