Establishment of an Alliance for Anaemia Actions by June 2022
Description
WHO and UNICEF will co-lead the establishment of the Alliance. A six month workplan, including major milestones, will be agreed upon with interested partners. A mapping of the capabilities, skill sets and resources of partners at the global, regional and country levels will be conducted. Principles of engagement will be established. The mapping and principles will inform the identification of relevant partners for inclusion in the Alliance. Workstreams will be established, along with workplans for each workstream, to address priority areas of work. The structure and governance of the Alliance will be clearly defined. Eventually the Alliance will advocate for acceleration of anaemia action and support the implementation of the Global Action Plan.
Overarching commitment (for commitments submitted pre-2025)
Title
Accelerating efforts to address anaemia
Description
We commit to developing a Global Action Plan (GAP) to prevent and manage anaemia in women and children. The plan will seek to improve efforts in reducing both the prevalence and severity of anaemia, and to advance the Global Nutrition Targets - notably to reduce anaemia in women of reproductive age by 50% by 2030.
We also commit to establishing, within the next 6 months, an Alliance for Anaemia Actions to advocate for an acceleration of anaemia actions and support the implementation of the GAP.
The Alliance will initially be convened by WHO and UNICEF to support country leadership. This Alliance will have a clear governance structure and principles of engagement, and it will be inclusive of a broad selection of actors from multiple sectors representing governments, UN organizations, civil society, academia, and relevant private sector entities.
Building on the strengths of each, the Alliance will contribute to measurable deliverables, including leveraging support for country action plans, fostering the development of a global integrated research agenda, and mobilizing global and domestic investments to reduce anaemia in women and children.
