Good nutrition is vital during a child's first 1,000 days, affecting their growth, learning, and health. Undernutrition leads to significant mortality rates and developmental delays, with millions of children impacted by stunting and wasting. Despite the existence of sufficient food globally, nutritional targets remain unmet due to challenges like poverty and climate change. UNICEF's Child Nutrition Fund focuses on improving access to nutritious diets by enhancing financial strategies and pooling resources, with the goal of addressing and ultimately solving the child nutrition crisis before 2030.
Good nutrition is the foundation for healthy development, particularly in the first 1,000 days of a child's life, enabling growth, learning, and resilience.
We are facing a pivotal moment for the world's children as poverty, climate change, and crises challenge sustainable food access, yet the nutrition crisis is solvable.
The Child Nutrition Fund aims to change the approach to child undernutrition by coordinating funding, unlocking investments, and expanding access to proven solutions.
There's enough food in the world to feed all children; however, insufficient progress on global nutrition targets for 2030 persists despite existing solutions.
