1,000 Days, Bread for the World, Food Tank, Humanitas Global, International Food Policy Research Institute, The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, and USAID are pleased to invite you to the 2016 Global Nutrition Report Washington, DC Launch  event.

The 2016 Global Nutrition Report highlights malnutrition in all forms, including non-communicable diseases. It explores the underlying determinants of malnutrition such as water, sanitation and hygiene, education and social protection. It also demonstrates that malnutrition creates a cascade of individual and societal challenges.

Few challenges that face the global community are as serious as the scale of malnutrition, affecting one in three people globally. The Global Nutrition Report serves as the first comprehensive summary and scorecard of both global and country-level progress on all forms of nutrition. Please join us for a dynamic discussion about the 2016 report’s findings and its recommendations for sustainable and targeted progress.
