Start Nutrition Assessment

Investing in Nutrition Advances a number of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Nutritious food access • Improved formulations • Food safety

Maternal & child health • Better diets • Safer production

Support women-led businesses • Improve women’s nutrition

Grow SMEs in the food sector

Reduce food loss & waste of nutritious foods

Mobilize funding • Foster public-private partnerships

Why nutrition investments matter: good nutrition is the foundation for health, productivity, and economic growth. Yet it remains underfunded, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Smart investments in nutrition can drive progress across sectors — from agriculture and health to gender and economic development. Earlier this year, the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) 2025 Summit in Paris renewed global momentum to scale up private capital for nutrition. This tool helps turn that ambition into action.
