Session Description
Addressing malnutrition can result in substantial economic gains, yet current funding levels are insufficient to eliminate hunger by 2030 and spending on overnutrition low and not well documented. In this session, international experts on economics and nutrition will discuss the economic rationale for ending hunger and malnutrition, and will explore innovative financing mechanisms that donors, the private sector, governments, and civil society can use to accelerate progress in the field.
