In this Infopoint organised by the European Commission and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), in the lead up to Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit, we wish to raise awareness on initiatives and solutions financed through EU-IFAD partnership and innovative financing mechanisms catalysing private sector investments in nutrition and investing in climate-resilient agriculture and biodiversity in an inclusive and integrated approach. Furthermore, it would be an opportunity to explore how current instruments such as the EU’s Global Gateway and IFAD13 could support accelerating nutrition outcomes.

Beyond the N4G Summit, the event also comes at a crucial time. We are at an early stage of the start of the term of the new European Commission when policies and programmes are being developed and advanced such as the Global Gateway.
