ECF’s commitment will also unlock an additional $50 million USD in matched funding for nutrition from the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID).

Assuming a linear rate of progress, the cumulative disbursements for 2015-2020 (US$55,779,581) are above the required amount by this stage (US$40,000,000) to remain on course with the target of US$100,000,000 by 2030.
ECF is also pleased to announce a new strategic collaboration with DFID and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) that will further align the nutrition strategy and programming of our three institutions. This collaboration intends to bring USAID and DFID’s support for nutrition scale-up alongside ECF’s capacity to pursue innovative and cost-effective approaches to improve nutrition.
The Eleanor Crook Foundation continues our close collaboration with the US Agency for International Development and the UK FCDO. This includes engagement at multiple levels, including at the leadership level, to coordinate and leverage strategies across our three organizations. As one specific example, in the period 1 June 2021 - 31 May 2022, we were pleased to have the US Agency for International Development join an ongoing partnership with the US Development Finance Corporation (The Global Nutrition Financing Alliance), which was announced as part of the U.S. Government's commitments at the UN Food Systems Summit.
Reported progress shows that ECF are continuing their collaboration with FCDO (previously DFID) and USAID
