Nutrition for Growth Summit 2021

The Nutrition for Growth Summit, hosted by the Government of Japan from 7–8 December 2021, convened a cross-section of stakeholders to announce final financial and policy commitments and chart the path toward Zero Hunger by 2030 with concrete recommendations to the global community. 

It was a key moment, marking the end of the Nutrition for Growth Year of Action and the core themes included Health, Resilience and Finance. 

Ahead of this vital event, Concern hosted a webinar on Building Resilient Heath Systems in Fragile Contexts, bringing together experts from across the humanitarian and development sector to explore how resilient health systems can be effectively strengthened to prevent and treat malnutrition with ‘Quality Funding’ that is multi-annual, flexible and predictable. 

Moderated by Concern's Nutrition Advisor Kate Golden, the webinar featured presentations drawing on lessons learned from several years of work focused on building the resilience of nutrition services - with contributions from: 

• DGs ECHO and INTPA 

• Niger 3N Initiative 

• Irish Aid 

• Concern’s ERNE programme
