How is your district aligning its efforts with Uganda’s commitments from the #N4G Summit in Paris? This week, we engaged district level nutrition actors in Maracha, Kabale, Bugweri & Nwoya to develop actionable strategies for integrating N4G commitments into their programming.

@Kabali_tina from @CSBAGUGANDA calls on government to increase funding to local governments to ensure every citizen receives the quality services they deserve. #NutritionFinancingUG @Right2Grow_org @THP_Uganda @ACFinUganda @WorldVisionUg @MinofHealthUG @DutchMFA @UNICEFUganda

“According to the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023 report, malnourished population grew from 4.7 million in 2006 to 14.5 million in 2022.”- @Kabali_tina. #UGBUDGET25 #NutritionFinancingUg

@ZakariaFusheini from @UNICEFUganda calls on governments and nutrition stakeholders to reflect on efficient and sustainable financing to drive impactful nutrition outcomes. @Right2Grow_org @THP_Uganda @WorldVisionUg @CSBAGUGANDA @ACFinUganda #NutritionFinancingUG

“Prosperity relies on the health and well being of its people and we cannot talk about health without nutrition,” @ochatre_n @THP_Uganda @CSBAGUGANDA @WorldVisionUg @ACFinUganda @FRAUGANDA @Right2Grow_org #NutritionFinancingUG

“Ending malnutrition is an achievable goal, as government, as development partners and all the different actors, we have made commitments which if acted upon can take us a step forward towards improved nutrition, let us walk the talk” @MinofHealthUG #NutritionFinancingUG

Did you know that undernutrition has significant economic costs of up to at least $1 trillion annually.” @ACFinUganda @THP_Uganda @CSBAGUGANDA @WorldVisionUg #NutritionFinancingUG

“Children with limited knowledge on nutrition are giving birth to children which is a key driver of stunting. As a country, we have to put in place mechanisms addressing the information gap and other related issues,” @EceruPeter from @ACFinUganda #NutritionFinancingUG

“Uganda should prioritize investment in creating awareness at community level to ensure that caregivers are aware and able to give the right amounts of food to their children,” @ZakariaFusheini @UNICEFUganda at the ongoing x space hosted by @SolomonSerwanjj #NutritionFinancingUG

Did you know that if children under 5 eat at least an egg everyday for 6months, stunting levels would reduce to 47%? @ZakariaFusheini speaking at the ongoing X-space hosted by @SolomonSerwanjj #NutritionFinancingUG
