Rights-based policies for tackling malnutrition and advancing Universal Health Coverage (UHC): Aligning N4G commitments with progress
ACTION
This December, all eyes will be on Tokyo and the 2021 Nutrition for Growth Summit. Join us on International Human Rights Day for a conversation about the right to good nutrition and progress in integrating nutrition into UHC plans with the N4G side event, “Rights-based policies for tackling malnutrition and advancing Universal Health Coverage (UHC): Aligning N4G commitments with progress.” Whether you’re an advocate, parliamentarian, or civil servant, you can play a role in ensuring rights-based policies are enacted that will help tackle malnutrition and keep commitment-makers accountable for their N4G pledges.
