Agenda

IFPRI is pleased to participate in the “2024 Global Child Nutrition Forum”. The Global Child Nutrition Foundation works with a global network of governments, businesses, and civil society organizations to support school meal programs that help children and communities thrive. GCNF provides training, technical assistance, and networking opportunities to help governments build national school meal programs that are nutritious, locally-sourced, and ultimately independent from international aid.

The objectives of the 2024 Global Child Nutrition Forum in Osaka, Japan are to:

  • Serve as a key platform for governments and their partners to learn, exchange experiences, and gain inspiration for building, maintaining, and expanding high quality school meal programs.
  • Highlight results of the Global Survey of School Meal Programs © and other research, trends, and innovations relevant to school meal programs.
  • Showcase Japan’s local, national, and international experiences with school meal programs and serve as an official pre-event to the 2025 Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD). 
  • Collectively develop key messages reflecting participant priorities to guide advocacy efforts over the coming year.
  • Support the objectives of the School Meals Coalition (SMC) and Nutrition for Growth (N4G).
