Commitment description

The Forum commits to drive the global micronutrient agenda by hosting and establishing three alliances or coalitions that bring together diverse stakeholders to coordinate and strengthen knowledge and the evidence-base for policies in support of micronutrient interventions and micronutrient data by 2025. These alliances and coalitions will consist of diverse stakeholders across research communities, donors, national governments, foundations, multi-laterals, and civil society organizations. Through these alliances, the Forum commits to support 10 countries/geographies through stakeholder consultations to drive localized micronutrient action plans and roadmaps to guide national-level program decision making. Collectively, these country/geography dialogues will inform the broader global micronutrient agenda, including through the MNF's Global 2023 Conference.

The collective mission of these alliances will be to strengthen micronutrient-focused policies, plans and/or data, alongside increasing investment in actions for micronutrient interventions, including healthy micronutrient rich diets, food fortification, biofortification and micronutrient supplementation programs that can be delivered sustainably and equitably.
