The Case for $4 Billion
The World Bank must commit at least $4 billion in nutrition financing annually for the next three fiscal years (FY26-FY28) to tackle the global nutrition crisis at the 2025 Nutrition for Growth Summit (N4G). This commitment is essential to scale up nutrition interventions worldwide, with an estimated $13 billion needed annually to adequately address malnutrition over the next decade. Now is an opportune moment for the World Bank to demonstrate leadership and drive significant progress in global nutrition outcomes. We urge the Bank to make an ambitious commitment at the N4G Summit to meet both the financial and non-financial needs required to tackle malnutrition globally.
This call is issued by civil society organisations ahead of the 27-28 March Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris next year.
