NEW: UK unveils White Paper setting out a new approach to global development. Tap to read ⤵️

No child should go to bed hungry. And yet, 1 in 15 around the world are wasted. An estimated one million children a year die because of wasting. Many of us are parents. The thought of our own children suffering from malnutrition is intolerable. The thought of anyone’s child

This is what international co-operation can do👇

We’re working with partners like UNICEF to protect communities from mpox in central Africa.
