Goal action plan
Guided by our Feminist International Assistance Policy, Canada has been very vocal and will continue to leverage its influence as a global nutrition leader to champion gender transformative approaches in nutrition programming at all convening opportunities. Each time Canada participates in or conveys a nutrition-specific or nutrition related stakeholder meeting be it nationally, regionally, or globally, Canada will promote gender transformative actions, policies and plans for nutrition.
