Global Nutrition Report

This project addresses the need for robust independent and evidence-driven data on global malnutrition as a core requirement for nutrition programming in a pandemic context. The Global Nutrition Report is the world’s leading independent assessment of the state of good nutrition guided by nutrition experts. Project activities include: (1) providing analysis tools services and guidance to global nutrition stakeholders to achieve GNR’s mission of driving greater action to end malnutrition in all its forms. This Global Nutrition Report (2020-2023) is a two-year project.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) provided and synthesized nutrition data and evidence; (2) informed key stakeholders with high-quality actionable content; (3) facilitated the accountability of stakeholders for nutrition commitments; and (4) strengthened the GNR as a platform to drive greater action to end malnutrition. The Global Nutrition Report seeks to empower nutrition stakeholders to take action by equipping them with relevant quality information. It also aims to keep governments donors UN agencies civil society organizations and the private sector accountable to reduce malnutrition in all its forms. Canada’s contribution to the GNR helps achieve the ultimate outcome of the GNR: to reduce malnutrition in all its forms by informing shaping and inspiring discourse and action on policy practice and financing through data and evidence.
