Timely funding means children get the treatment they need, when they need it. Malnutrition is preventable, but only if the resources are available and accessible. #EndMalnutritionNigeria #InvestInNutrition #14DaysAdvocacyCampaign

🚨 DAY 5 — 14 DAYS MEDIA ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN 🚨 Every delay in releasing funds puts millions of children at risk of malnutrition and preventable deaths We call on Govt to: ✅ Release resources immediately ✅ Match the UNICEF Child Nutrition Fund ✅ Ensure a consistent supply RUTF

When PHC systems are weak, vulnerable children are left at risk of malnutrition & preventable deaths. A strong healthcare system is key to ending malnutrition and building a healthier future for Nigeria. #EndMalnutritionNigeria #InvestInNutrition #14DaysAdvocacyCampaign

We call on govt at all levels to strengthen Primary Healthcare Centres by ensuring: ✅ Availability of trained health workers ✅ Routine nutrition screening for children and mothers ✅ Early detection and treatment of malnutrition ✅ Adequate nutrition commodities and supplies

🚨 DAY 4 — 14 DAYS MEDIA ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN 🚨 PHCs are the first point of care for millions of Nigerians, especially women and children. Yet many facilities still lack the equipment, supplies, and trained personnel needed to provide essential nutrition services.

✔ Nutrition interventions become more effective We call on government institutions and relevant stakeholders to strengthen transparency mechanisms and make nutrition spending open, trackable, and accountable #EndMalnutritionNigeria #InvestInNutrition #14DaysAdvocacyCampaign

Transparent tracking and monitoring systems are essential to ensure nutrition funds reach the children, women, and vulnerable populations they are intended for. When there is transparency: ✔ Accountability improves ✔ Public trust grows ✔ Corruption is reduced

🚨 DAY 3 — 14 DAYS MEDIA ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN Nutrition funds should save lives — not disappear without accountability. Citizens deserve to know: ✅ How much is allocated ✅ When funds are released ✅ Where the money goes ✅ The impact these investments are making in communities

“I felt powerless and constantly exhausted from hunger.” Now, @FinianAli is urging Parliamentarians to back the Child Nutrition Fund to help protect children from malnutrition in Nigeria and beyond. Read his story: uamh.uk @SUNYouthNetNig @SUNCSN @FCDOGovUK

📢 Let’s make nutrition a legal priority — for healthier children, stronger communities, and a brighter future for Nigeria. #EndMalnutritionNigeria #InvestInNutrition #14DaysAdvocacyCampaign

✅Ensure legal frameworks for accountability ✅ Commit to sustained investment in nutrition programs A law-backed commitment guarantees that nutrition interventions are not just promises on paper—they become lifesaving actions reaching those who need them most.

Nutrition is a right, not a choice. Yet, millions of Nigerian children and vulnerable communities continue to suffer because nutrition policies are not legally enforced at the state level. We urge lawmakers across all states to: ✅ Domesticate national nutrition policies

Join us as we continue to raise our voices for a healthier Nigeria where every child has the opportunity to grow, thrive, and reach their full potential. #EndMalnutritionNigeria #InvestInNutrition #14DaysAdvocacyCampaign

Every delay in releasing nutrition funds means: ⚠️ Delayed treatment for malnourished children ⚠️ Reduced access to essential nutrition services Nutrition interventions are time-sensitive. Lives are at stake & delayed funding translates directly into delayed life-saving action.

🚨 DAY 2 — 14 DAYS MEDIA ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN 🚨 Approving nutrition budgets is important, but approval alone cannot save lives. Funds meant for nutrition interventions must be released promptly to ensure vulnerable children and communities receive the support they urgently need.

Over the next 14 days, we will raise our voices, share evidence and demand stronger commitments towards ending malnutrition in Nigeria. 📢 Join the conversation. 📢 Raise your voice. Together, we can build a healthier and more productive future for every child in Nigeria

We call on the Govt to PRIORITIZE nutrition by significantly increasing budgetary allocation for nutrition interventions, especially for women, children, and vulnerable communities. Good nutrition is not a privilege — it is a right. A healthy nation begins with healthy children

📢LAUNCHING TODAY: 14 DAYS MEDIA ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN ON NUTRITION Millions of Nigerian children are still suffering from malnutrition, stunted growth, poor learning outcomes, and preventable illnesses because nutrition is not receiving the attention and funding it deserves.

Malnutrition is the biggest killer of children under five. But, today, we are celebrating the nutrition champions working to change that. Huge thanks to all who came to the @APPGNutrition & ICAN UK reception. Investing in nutrition gives every child the chance to thrive.🌍✨

Great to see our National Youth Coordinator @FinianAli championing global advocacy efforts for increased UK investment in Nutrition #CNF Funding.
