Title

Scale-up nutrition results for children

Description

UNICEF’s organizational commitment is to scale up nutrition results for children, adolescents and women during its forthcoming Strategic Plan 2022-2025. Through UNICEF-supported programmes in more than 130 countries, we aim to reach at least 500 million children, adolescents and women annually with policies, strategies and programs that support the delivery of nutritious diets, essential nutrition services, and positive nutrition practices to prevent malnutrition in all its forms. To deliver on this ambitious agenda, UNICEF will secure an investment of at least US$ 2.4 billion in programs for children, adolescents and women during the four-year period of UNICEF’s Strategic Plan 2022-2025.
