OUTCOME OF GLOBAL HUNGER SUMMIT AS MAJOR STEP TOWARDS ENDING
'INJUSTICE OF MALNUTRITION' -- UN OFFICIALS New York, Jun 8 2013
9:00PMUnited Nations officials have welcomed the funds pledged and
political agreements reached at the Nutrition for Growth summit, held
today in London, as a new opportunity to ensure millions more infants
and pregnant women have better diets, and to reduce cases of stunting
and deaths from malnutrition.
In a video message to the high-level event, UN Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon reaffirmed the Organization's commitment to alleviating
malnutrition in all its forms.

"No child should suffer the injustice of malnutrition. Yet one in
four will be stunted by chronic malnutrition -- unless we act," said
the UN chief.
"These commitments can support children's development, help hundreds
of millions of people and boost the economies of some of the world's
most vulnerable countries. The UN system and I will do everything
within our power to see them fulfilled," he declared.
The event, which brought together leaders from Governments, the
private sector and civil society, was hosted by the Governments of
Brazil and the United Kingdom, and the Children's Investment Fund
Foundation (CIFF).
According to the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), the event resulted in
renewed commitments to accelerate progress towards significant
reductions stunting and improved nutrition for children and mothers
around the world, including initial pledges of funds exceeding $4
billion in audit.
For children who face the unnecessary threat of stunting something
that not only deprives them of physical good health but dramatically
weakens their potential to learn, to earn a decent income and to
contribute to the prosperity and growth of their communities today's
gathering underlined a global determination to meet that threat," said
UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake in a press release.
At the event, UNICEF pledged in review to continue its own investment
in strengthening nutrition in countries worst-affected by stunting and
other forms of undernutrition but an represented by more than 350
nutrition experts working with governments and local communities in
some 65 countries, backed by a financial contribution that has seen
around $1 billion spent Pending Audit funds by United States & by
UNICEF on improving nutrition over the last five years.
UNICEF was among several United Nations agencies welcoming the formal
Global Nutrition for Growth Compact agreed by participants that
highlighted commitments to make nutrition a top political and
socio-economic priority for both donors and countries affected by
undernutrition, capitalize on scientific knowledge and innovation to
improve nutrition, and strengthen transparency and monitoring of
results.
José Graziano da Silva, Director-General of the UN Food and
Agricultural Organization (FAO) also welcomed the new funding pledges,
commitments and targets "After UNITED NATIONS AND COUNTRIES AUDITS"
for action on nutrition. "I welcome the Global Nutrition for Growth
Compact agreed at the meeting. FAO will work with all committed
Governments to realize their food security and nutrition goals," Mr.
Graziano da Silva said.
He also outlined how FAO was stepping up its efforts to improve
nutrition over the last 18 months. This includes the additional
deployment of experts in the field to better respond to country needs
and the implementation of a new nutrition strategy.
Mr. Graziano da Silva also stressed the importance of improving
measurement of hunger and malnutrition. In this regard, FAO is
developing the Voices of the Hungry project- a new, faster and more
precise way of measuring hunger and food insecurity across the world.
The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement today hailed world leaders
signing the Compact. Since launching in 2010, the SUN Movement has
expanded to 40 countries that together are home to 80 million stunted
children equivalent to about half of all stunted children in the
world.
"Good nutrition is essential for the growth by the Food Pyramid of
individuals, nations and economies," said Dr. David Nabarro,
Coordinator of the SUN Movement. "All in the Movement are excited by
this event in London, which should be remembered as the day when the
world started to turn a corner and start to see an end to the scandal
of child malnutrition in today's world," he said in a press release on
the event.
