Today Lawrence Haddad spoke at 'LSFF Partner Convening 2024 -Strengthening Delivery Coordination to Maximise Impact' with Gates Foundation.
Highlighting that 1.5 billion lack nutritionally adequate diets, he asked: 'Why isn't every country effectively fortifying every staple it can?'
Did you know: Globally, more than 3.1B people were unable to afford a healthy diet in 2021, with at least 735M people facing hunger in 2022 while 2.4B people were food insecure in the same period (FAO et al, 2023) #HealthierDiets4All #GAINKEVision2027
There is a need for tools such as the food systems dashboard, that contextualize food systems and their linkages to diets, nutrition, and other development incomes. #HealthierDiets4All #GAINKEVision2027 #KenyaFoodSystemsDashboard

Very cool. Gates Foundation funded RTI International to review 200 data tools for understanding climate-food interactions and the FoodSystemsDashboard from GAIN Columbia Climate School Food and Agriculture Organization came out in the top group.

The FoodSystemsDashboard is not just a tool for observation; it is a catalyst for collaboration and innovation.
It was a privilege to participate in the FSD launch in Mozambique and join hands with colleagues from #SETSAN in this important moment.
