Improving food security and nutrition is critical to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but the world is not on track to end hunger and malnutrition by 2030. How can we accelerate progress in transforming our agri-food systems to meet the needs of the hungry and malnourished?
To answer this question, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) organized a global event to accelerate progress to end hunger and malnutrition. This event is aligned with the imperatives of the Compact2025 initiative and the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition to make accelerated progress on hunger and undernutrition by 2025 to pave the way for achieving all the SDGs. Compact2025 was launched to support the achievement of SDG2 and the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. The global event was held November 28–30, 2018, taking place in Bangkok, Thailand and brought together decision makers, practictioners, researchers, and other stakeholders from around the world.
Results for Development’s Augustin Flory and Emily Thacher were in attendance and led a side session, “Data Visualization Tools for Nutrition – Empowering Decision Makers to Accelerate Progress.”
