N4D: TRANSFORMING KNOWLEDGE INTO ACTION FOR NUTRITION & DEVELOPMENT

N4D @ N4G 2025

N4D played an active role in the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit Paris 2025, both as organisers/participants for three side events in the Civil Society Pavilion and as the official Summit podcasters.

N4D & PARTNERS’ SIDE EVENTS

Scaling up efforts to sustainably prevent malnutrition in protracted crises 

N4D presented its ‘Financing the prevention of malnutrition in protracted crises – a foundation for peace and prosperity’ discussion paper, which examines ways of overcoming obstacles to mobilise better financing and promote more sustainable nutrition outcomes. Panelists for this side event included the SUN Yemen Secretariat in the Ministry of Planning, the Nutrition Coordination Office in the Ethiopia Ministry of Health and the World Bank.

Closing the financing gap for nutrition through country-specific commitments and accountability 

N4D, alongwith with co-hosts SDG2 Advocacy Hub and the SUN Civil Society Network, took part in a lively panel discussion with national government representatives from Ethiopia (see podcast below) and Pakistan sharing successes and challenges in mobilising and tracking domestic financing and donor financing that is aligned with national priorities. Other panelists from multistakeholder initiatives shared their perspectives on supporting countries in this process.

Advocacy for country-led nutrition financing: A new consensus 

N4D, World Vision International, the SUN Movement and the SDG2 Advocacy Hub launched a strategic direction for nutrition finance advocacy, based on recommendations from new research. The event included a country profile from Pakistan on mapping advocacy needs at the country level, showcasing the high-level and country-level work that can be achieved in this area. This event sought to catalyze a new consensus for nutrition advocacy to increase financing beyond this N4G Summit.

N4D @ N4G PODCASTS

We captured multiple country and global voices in three Summit Podcast Round-ups for Days 1-3 that included N4D’s reflections on the N4G Summit (see Episodes: Days one, two & three). We also recorded a series of Summit Podcast Shorts  – snippets of conversations with a strong emphasis on national actors and a focus on financing and accountability.

N4G Summit Paris 2025 Outcomes

The N4G Summit Paris 2025 advocated for ambitious financial and political commitments and fostering dialogue among diverse actors from around the world. About 127 delegations, including the governments of 106 countries and numerous international organizations, civil society organizations, development banks, philanthropies, research institutions and businesses, met to reaffirm a shared commitment to global nutrition. Over 400 commitments were registered on the Nutrition Accountability Framework platform, and close to US$28 billion in nutrition funding to reach Sustainable Development Goals was announced. This represents a huge mobilization and renewed commitment to multilateralism, particularly in the current constrained financing landscape.
