A meaningful follow-up this week in New York: Nutrition International met with King Letsie III of Lesotho and @randeepssarai, following our event "Our Children Cannot Wait." Grateful for their leadership and partnership on child survival and nutrition, and for Canada's role in amplifying His Majesty's work across Africa. In a week that could lean toward fatigue, it felt important to bring hope and real solutions to the table. #UNGA81

Il y a quarante ans aujourd'hui, le monde adoptait la Déclaration sur le droit au développement. Depuis plus de 30 ans, par notre travail, le Canada a contribué à concrétiser ce droit pour des millions de femmes, de filles adolescentes et d'enfants grâce à la nutrition, de la vitamine A à la santé maternelle en passant par les systèmes dirigés par les pays. Aujourd'hui, nous réfléchissons à notre partenariat avec @DevCanada nutritionintl.org/fr/nouvell…

Forty years ago today, the world adopted the Declaration on the Right to Development. For 30+ years, through our work, Canada has helped make that right real for millions of women, adolescent girls and children through nutrition, from vitamin A to maternal health to country-led systems. Today, we’re reflecting on our partnership with @CanadaDev: nutritionintl.org/news/all-s…

#Breastfeeding is one of the most cost-effective investments a country can make in its people. Yet not breastfeeding according to recommendations is estimated to cost the global economy US$339 billion a year and is associated with an estimated 383 000 avoidable child deaths and 138 000 avoidable maternal deaths annually. This #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, join the Global Breastfeeding Collective as we launch an updated global investment case for breastfeeding, commissioned by WHO and @UNICEF and produced by @NutritionIntl. ✅ An updated economic case for investment, built on the Cost of Not Breastfeeding model ✅ New evidence on the interventions with the strongest track record ✅ Country perspectives on how the evidence can shape policy and funding decisions Multiple sessions and times are available - please see for the best time to join for your area. For the Western Pacific, tune in on 4 August 2026 at 8:00 CEST (Geneva), or 13:00 (Bangkok), 14:00 (Beijing/Manila) or 15:00 (Tokyo).
