Stakeholder Consultation on Wasting 'Reset'

Summary

Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) has submitted a game-changer on a 'wasting reset’ that has been included as part of the game-changers of Action Track 1 for the UN Food Systems Summit.

The objective of this wasting reset is "To coalesce and clearly communicate the dialogue around what is required to reduce global wasting incidence and prevalence." To achieve this, we must join forces to speak with one collective voice; we must embrace our diversity and downplay our differences.

In concert with the UN agencies responsible for implementing the UN GAP on Child Wasting, in collaboration with the AT1 leadership team and informed by diverse stakeholder consultations, ENN will facilitate this process of identifying the steps that all stakeholders needed to implement to achieve the required reductions in wasting and reach the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets by 2030.

An open 'stakeholder engagement’ webinar has been hosted by ENN on 18th June 2021 with the participation of Lawrence Haddad, Tom Arnold, representatives from government, USAID, UNICEF and FAO.
