Join us at the Nutrition4Growth Summit!
The Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge is organizing a two-part panel discussion with Right2Grow during the Nutrition4Growth Summit. The session, entitled From Evidence to Impact: How Civil Society and the Private Sector Can Transform Nutrition, will take place in the Village of Solutions where the Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge is also present.
Two-part panel discussion
The Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge is leading a panel discussion on aligning interventions with evidence for effective action. It will explore the evidence available to understand the most effective interventions for ending hunger and malnutrition and how the private sector can align their activities to this evidence.
Carin Smaller, Co-Chair of Hesat2030 and Executive Director of the Shamba Centre for Food & Climate, will present the findings of the soon-to-be-launched report by Hesat2030 on nutrition. This report identifies the most effective interventions within agrifood systems to end malnutrition across three pathways: production, consumption and market.
To help understand the role of the private sector, Nnaemeka Ikegwuonu from ColdHubs will explain how the activities of his company aligns with the interventions identified in the Hesat2030 report. Alejandro Guarin from the World Benchmarking Alliance and Efi Chatzinikolaou from Access to Nutrition Initiative will explore the role of larger companies in promoting nutrition and the biggest opportunities and challenges that they face.
The second panel discussion will focus on the role of civil society in advocating for stronger nutrition outcomes. It will explore how civil society generates and uses evidence to advocate for improved policies. Speakers include representatives from Amani Initiative Uganda, Alive & Thrive Viet Nam, CSONA Malawi and the Shamba Centre for Food & Climate.
These panel discussions, moderated by Lysiane Lefebvre on behalf of the Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge and Steven Lanting, Right2Grow will take place in the Village of Solutions on Wednesday, 26 March from 9h30-11h CET.
