‘We were delighted to learn of the UK Government’s £1.5 billion commitment to nutrition over the next eight years. This funding will support nutritional equity for some of the world’s most vulnerable communities but equally, will enable the UK to continue to provide thought leadership in this field.

Hence, this funding is a welcome and positive step forward.’
