Nutrition International

Investing in adolescent nutrition is investing in Africa's future. At #WHSNairobi2026, we brought together policymakers, researchers, donors, and adolescents themselves to turn evidence into action on adolescent nutrition. The tools exist. Now we need the financing, coordination, and political commitment to scale them. #AdolescentNutrition #InvestInAdolescents #EvidenceToAction

A single daily dose of #MMS—providing 15 essential vitamins and minerals—taken throughout pregnancy is a cost-effective intervention to improve birth outcomes and reduce maternal anaemia. @NutritionIntl supports countries worldwide to integrate MMS into comprehensive antenatal care.
