Senior leaders reveal the Power of Nutrition

In March 2015, the Power of Nutrition website went live and is a new innovative financing facility dedicated to unlocking up to $1 billion of new private and public financing to improve child nutrition. The Power of Nutrition is a partnership of investors and implementers committed to helping children grow to their full potential, ending the cycle of undernutrition, and enabling countries to build strong and prosperous communities.

The partnership is open to new private and public investors interested in funding large-scale, high impact programmes in some of the countries that are worst affected by undernutrition. They are an independent charity registered in the United Kingdom and have an Executive Team who monitor programmes to ensure the impact of each investment is clear.

One of the mechanisms through which the Power of Nutrition will operate is through a new World Bank Group multi-donor trust fund for which eligible countries can apply. The partnership will work with influential and effective partners on the ground, and focus resources on the worst-affected countries. The programmes will help prepare millions of children to fight disease, benefit from education, and escape poverty – creating positive change that stretches far into the future.
