SUN Movement Nutrition Financing Messages

Most countries are currently not on track to meet their SDG nutrition targets or World Health Assembly goals. The Global Investment Framework for Nutrition outlines the costs over the next 10 years needed to scale up essential nutrition interventions to meet the SDGs. It's also crucial to integrate nutrition goals into other sectoral investments, such as agriculture, climate action, social protection, education, and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) programs. Achieving this requires not only financial resources but also policy commitments that ensure nutrition is a core part of program designs. Evidence is growing on how these programs can drive nutrition progress.

Investing in nutrition has far-reaching impacts: it saves lives, reduces illness, and fuels positive growth for individuals and entire communities. Beyond health, nutrition investment boosts education outcomes, economic productivity, and resilience. In fact, every dollar invested in nutrition can yield up to $23 in returns, making it one of the smartest investments for a healthier, more prosperous and sustainable future for all.
