ANNEX OF COMMITMENTS Aliko Dangote Foundation At Aliko Dangote Foundation, by 2025 we commit US$100 million by 2025: To reduce the prevalence of undernutrition by 60% by 2025 by breaking the vicious cycle of poverty and malnutrition through a combination of proven nutrition-specific and nutritionsensitive interventions. To treat at least 1,000,000 children with SAM using a CMAM approach, and reach their households with engendered optimal nutrition, hygiene and care-seeking behaviours, improved food security and livelihoods, which increase access to a diverse nutritious diet, especially among women. To engage, motivate, and improve workplace wellbeing of over 25,000 workforce of Dangote Group through employee nutrition services. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation In June 2015, the Gates Foundation announced a major increase in its nutrition investments, but this commitment was not formally registered as an update to our original 2013 Nutrition for Growth pledge, so we are officially doing so today. Our 2015 commitment was to spend USD $776 million on nutrition from 2015-2020. The represents an increase of USD $360 million over planned spending levels we announced in London in 2013. Our Ambition by 2020: Contributing to averting up to 1.8 million undernutrition-attributable deaths Delivery platforms and implementation knowledge established to accelerate scale-up of current and emerging nutrition interventions Global nutrition community will know and understand the full set of causes of undernutrition New solutions developed and tested to address up to 50 percent of the unaddressed burden Government of Brazil Brazil s Ministry of Health committed US$ 7 Million for research in food and nutrition and will announce awarded grantees in a few weeks. This commitment will support research projects to develop domestic capacity for science and innovation in the food and nutrition space. The funds will be applied towards three calls for proposals covering issues such as obesity in the different life stages, innovative and effective communication strategies in health promotion, regulation of child food advertising, labeling of food products, among others. CARE USA, U.S. NGO Nutrition Pledge This year, 13 organizations have agreed to participate in the U.S. NGO Nutrition Pledge, which will run for three years between 2018 and 2020. Collectively, these organizations have committed $1,170,197,768 in nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive funding over the next three years. This total exceeds the 2013 pledge amount by around $420 million, reflecting a growing commitment within the U.S. INGO community to fight hunger and malnutrition around the world.
The organizations part of the pledge are as follows: Action Against Hunger, Adventist Development and Relief Agency International, Bread for the World, CARE, Grameen Foundation, Helen Keller International, Islamic Relief USA, Lutheran World Relief, Mercy Corps, NCBA CLUSA, Pan-American Development Foundation, Plan International, and World Vision. Chaudhary Foundation The Nepal-based Chaudhary Foundation committed to reach 1 million vulnerable people with nutrition and health related interventions over the next 5 years. Concern Worldwide Concern remains committed to ending hunger and malnutrition for the world s poorest people and now, more than ever, the need is more apparent. As part of the Global Nutrition Summit, in addition to our 2013 Nutrition for Growth commitment, Concern Worldwide is pledging a financial commitment of $100 million over the next three years (2018-2020); $35.3 million on nutrition-specific interventions and USD $64.7 million on nutrition-sensitive programmes. Government of Côte d'ivoire US$70 million over 5 years, US$50 million through World Bank round table By 2025, the Government of Côte d Ivoire commits to: Contribute 15% of the overall cost to implement the National Multisectoral Nutrition Plan, which will represent 70 million USD over 5 years. Create a favorable environment for nutrition by strengthening national laws and regulations, developing a multisectoral breastfeeding policy to provide mothers with a supportive breastfeeding environment so that children can benefit from the practice; and setting up regional nutrition committees. Increase rates of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months from 23% to 72% by 2025. Government of El Salvador By 2020, reduce the prevalence of stunting and severe stunting below 16% under 2 years of age, and below 13% under 5 years. Reduce the prevalence of moderate and severe wasting below 2%. Maintain or reduce the incidence of overweight and obesity in children under 5 years of age to 6%; in children aged 7 to 9 years to less than 22%; in young people aged 13 to 15 years to below 38%; and in adults to below 59%. Increase the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding from 46.7% to 53%, increase the continuity of breastfeeding until the child reaches one year to 74% and increase the continuation of breastfeeding until the second year of life to above 57%. The Eleanor Crook Foundation The Eleanor Crook Foundation is a growing U.S. philanthropy exclusively focused on global nutrition. ECF supports innovative solutions to malnutrition through three key means: (1) funding and support for nutrition implementation research in East Africa; (2) technical capacity building and funding for local East African organizations to implement high-quality nutrition programs in their own communities; and
(3) coalition-building and external stakeholder engagement initiatives to leverage additional support and funding for global nutrition. ECF is proud to announce our commitment of $100 million USD toward global nutrition research, advocacy, and capacity building by 2030. ECF s commitment will also unlock an additional $50 million USD in matched funding for nutrition from the United Kingdom s Department for International Development (DFID). ECF is also pleased to announce a new strategic collaboration with DFID and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) that will further align the nutrition strategy and programming of our three institutions. This collaboration intends to bring USAID and DFID s support for nutrition scale-up alongside ECF s capacity to pursue innovative and cost-effective approaches to improve nutrition. The Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation The Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation (FLRF) is committed to spend 75 to 100 million Swiss francs to breastfeeding related projects over the next five years. The funds will be used to form a multidisciplinary and collaborative research network. Through basic and translational research, the network will contribute to a robust and constantly evolving evidence base to support capacity-building and systems-strengthening within the field of breastfeeding on a global basis. FLRF is committed to building the network in recognition of the importance of breastfeeding and its relatively underfunded state despite its designation as one of the interventions with the highest return on investment (World Bank 2017, Investment Framework for Nutrition). King Philanthropies Upon establishing King Philanthropies in 2016, we undertook a rigorous strategic planning process in which we analyzed a host of possible interventions for alleviating extreme poverty. We applied criteria such as the extent of unmet needs, potential for impact, cost-effectiveness, tractability, and neglect by other donors. This extensive fact-based analysis led us create King Essentials, a new grantmaking initiative focused on addressing nutrition-related needs in Africa and Asia. In 2017, King Philanthropies made grant commitments of $33M (in multi-year grants to be disbursed over the next three years) to seven exemplary nonprofit organizations to support nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions. Our investment in nutrition provides an extraordinary vehicle for making an impact on extreme poverty over the long term. Government of Madagascar The Government of Madagascar commits US$398 million over 10 years, US$200 million through World Bank IDA and Power of Nutrition. Commitment # 1: Reduce chronic malnutrition in children under-5 from 47% in 2017 to 38% in 2021 under the coordination of the National Office of Nutrition Financial Commitment # 2: The Malagasy State has increased its allocation for the nutrition sector by 40% from 2016 to 2021 during the implementation of the National Action Plan Phase III (2017-2021) for the implementation of the essential package in nutrition at the national level
The Multi-Phase Project Approach (APPM) Health Nutrition will be the basis of this challenge, focusing as a priority on the "first 1,000 days" of the most vulnerable mother-child group. The Malagasy government has requested financial support from the World Bank and the private institution Power of Nutrition so that the Government can invest in nutrition and help reduce chronic malnutrition. The 10-year Project to improve nutritional outcomes using multi-phase program approach of US $200 million including $80 million from IDA and $10 million from Power of Nutrition, a total of $90 million, are being negotiated for the first phase of the APPM 2018-2021. Political commitment # 3: The President of the Republic of Madagascar, HE Mr. Hery Rajaonarimampianina, argued that the fight against malnutrition is a national priority. The strategic axis 4 "adequate human capital to the development process" of the National Development Plan (NDP), will be achieved when every pregnant woman and every child under-5 has access to a healthy diet nutritious and sufficient that would allow the reduction in stunting among children from its current 47% to 38% in 2021. The nutrition sector of Madagascar has set itself the vision: "a healthy diet - nutritious and sufficient, basis of a productive human capital, factor of social and economic development". The fight against malnutrition in Madagascar contributes to the achievement of Goal 2 "Zero Hunger" of the "Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs", which is to "eliminate hunger and famine, ensure food security, improve nutrition, promote sustainable agriculture" but also wants to be intersectoral, including SDG 6 "WASH" because the fight against malnutrition is multisectoral. Government of Niger At the Ministry of Public Health, Niger, we commit to F CFA 5,532,045,005 (US$10 million) from 2017-2021. To ensure optimal nutrition and development for every child, adequate nutrition during adolescence especially for young girls, and adequate nutrition during pregnancy and lactation. To treat acute malnutrition in children under 5 by revising the national IMCI (integrated management of childhood illness) protocol and ensuring 100% of treatment centers are equipped with management kits by end of 2019. To fight overweight and obesity, including child undernutrition, and to reduce the incidence of noncommunicable diseases starting with developing and implementing the Integrated Communication Plan for nutrition in 2018. By 2020, the Government of Niger, through its National Nutrition Plan, commits to: reduce the prevalence of chronic malnutrition in children under 5 years of age from 45.5% to 25%. reduce the prevalence of acute malnutrition from 10.3% to less than 5% reduce the prevalence of anaemia in women of reproductive age from 45.8% to 30% increase rates of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months from 23% to 50% improve coverage rates for SAM from 82.1% to 90%, and of MAM from 52.5% to 70%
Tata Trusts Tata Trusts nutrition strategy is to ensure that pregnant women, women of reproductive age and children achieve sustainable improvement in their nutrition and health status. Stunting and anaemia reduction will be the key outcome indicator of improved nutritional status of the population. Tata Trusts makes an immediate commitment to invest USD 50 million to achieve stunting and anemia reduction in India, over next 5 years, 2018 to 2022. The goals of the investment are: o o o 30% reduction in stunting in children below 5 years in the project areas in 3 years. 40% reduction in anaemia in children and women of reproductive age and children below 2 years in 5 years. Reach of over 10 million under-5 children and 300,000 pregnant and lactating women by end of 2020 The Power of Nutrition In its first 2 years of operation The Power of Nutrition** has successfully raised US$50 million of new money for nutrition from corporates, philanthropies, high net worth individuals and collective funders. With this funding, we are working with national governments and our multilateral partners to leverage more than $400 million in current and new programme investments to address undernutrition in some of the poorest countries in the world. Our first two investments alone have contributed to more than 9 million children and women being reached with nutrition-related interventions. Within the next five years, we will raise another $150 million with which we will be able to leverage a minimum of $600 million of programme investments, for a total of more than one billion dollars of programme investments by 2022. Investing $1 billion in these nutrition programmes will help prevent at least 600,000 cases of stunting in children. With continued and ongoing strong support from our partners, including governments, multilateral organisations and importantly private sector investors we will achieve these high and ambitious goals. **The Power of Nutrition was founded by UK Aid, the Children s Investment Fund Foundation, the UBS Optimus Foundation, UNICEF and the World Bank.** The World Bank The World Bank considers nutrition investments as a key to human capital development and poverty reduction. Under IDA17, which covered three years (mid 2014 to June 2017), the World Bank Group committed $1.9billion in IDA/IBRD resources for nutrition. Over the next two years (from mid-2017 to mid-2019), at least $1.7 billion in nutrition financing has already been identified for delivery across 30 countries in the IDA18 pipeline. This is a significantly increased commitment and represents strong ownership of this critical agenda by both the World Bank and national governments, since IDA is demand-driven by national governments.
In addition to IDA and IBRD, key trust fund resources have also been critical to moving the nutrition agenda forward. The $20m Trust Fund from the Government of Japan was critical to increasing our analytical work to support IDA scale-up for nutrition and surpassing our 2013 commitment, as are the $155m of innovative financing resources from the Power of Nutrition (across IDA17 and 18 cycles) coinvested with the IDA portfolio. The $67 million of nutrition-focused resources invested by the Global Financing Facility (GFF) Trust Fund were also a key component of this effort. Child stunting is also included as a Tier-1 indicator for the World Bank Corporate Score card. UK Department for International Development We are honouring all the commitments made at the London Nutrition for Growth Summit in 2013, including 575m on nutrition specific programmes, and we are already over half way to meeting our target to reach 50 million people by 2020. In 2013 the UK committed to release up to 280 million in matched funding for nutrition programmes, as a way of incentivising others to follow our lead, and we are pleased to announce today we are unlocking all our funding. United States of America Since the last Summit, the U.S. invested $2-3 billion annually between 2013 and 2015 (the years for which we have data) in nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive programs in international development and humanitarian assistance settings. In 2016, the Global Food Security Act was enacted, which further demonstrates the U.S. Government s support for reducing global poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. The U.S. remains deeply committed to improving global nutrition for the world's most vulnerable people, including women, children, and people facing the threat of famine and food insecurity. The U.S. will continue to take a comprehensive approach to undernutrition. And we encourage our public and private sector partners to work hand-in-hand with other governments to achieve our global nutrition goals. As part of this year s Global Nutrition Summit, the U.S. Government will multiply our impact through the following: Forge a partnership with the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID) and the Eleanor Crook Foundation (ECF) to pursue innovative and cost-effective approaches that catalyze sustainable solutions, build the evidence-base on nutrition innovations, strengthen local capacity to improve nutrition, and foster collaboration to promote effective investments that deliver the biggest impact. Engage in a partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to strengthen nutrition metrics that empower donors and practitioners to better track and evaluate our nutrition investments.
