UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016-2025: Country-specific commitments

The proclamation of the United Nations (UN) Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016–2025 – the Nutrition Decade – by the UN General Assembly in April 2016 builds on the commitments made by countries at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2). 

It gives all nutrition stakeholders worldwide a 10-year window to achieve progress towards nutrition-related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to ensure that all people, at all times and of all ages, have access to affordable, diversified, safe and healthy diets.

A sustained and coherent political focus is essential – and possible – for ending hunger and malnutrition in all its forms.
