Goal action plan
Ireland commitment to strengthening global policy and action on wasting is delivered through leadership and active engagement with the 'Wasting re-set' and the Global Action Plan on child wasting, promoting a focus on wasting in the Food Systems pre-Summit (with Ministerial participation at the wasting side event) and the Food Systems Summit (where the President of Ireland's national statement outlined Ireland's commitment to tackling wasting) and the African Union's Year of Nutrition 2022. Ireland will continue to build on this foundation by working with other members states and partners and key stakeholders in supporting global progress on wasting, specifically through the Global Action Plan. This will include focusing on areas such as Finance, prevention, advocacy, technical programming, policies and guidelines and products. Through committing to the Zero Hunger Coalition and to seeking global spaces to advance both the knowledge of and commitment to tackling wasting, Ireland will continue to be a front runner in this space.
