Global Conference: Nutrition for Resilience (N4R)

The Micronutrient Forum's 6th Global Conference will focus on the key theme Nutrition for Resilience (N4R).

Achieving the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development in an era of crisis upon crises depends on our ability to strengthen the resilience of individuals and populations as well as the systems on which they depend.

A more complete understanding and sectoral examination of the key nutritional drivers for resilience is necessary, for example, to support immunity against emerging waves of infectious diseases, develop more comprehensive shock-responsive systems in fragile settings, and scale-up impactful population-based prevention programs across both crisis and non-crisis contexts.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of optimal nutrition and, specifically, optimal micronutrient status in improving overall health, immunity, and productivity, nutrition is generally viewed as an outcome of more resilient populations and neglected in research and development agendas as integral in pathways that strengthen population resilience.

By bringing together diverse stakeholders across sectors and disciplines, the Forums 6th Global Conference will help shape and establish a compelling and evidence-based agenda on the interdependence of nutrition and resilience offering opportunities to advance integrated research, new policy priorities and investments for micronutrient interventions, and to accelerate progress towards global nutrition and development goals.
