EU Pledges €3.4 Billion to Combat Global Malnutrition at March 27, 2025 Summit

The European Commission announced a new commitment of €3.4 billion to combat global malnutrition at the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit in Paris on March 27, 2025. The funds will support partner countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, targeting children under five and pregnant or breastfeeding women affected by severe acute malnutrition. The EU will tailor support to each country's specific needs, focusing on the most vulnerable communities in underdeveloped and fragile regions. In addition to direct interventions, the EU will continue to promote international cooperation and improve nutritional governance at the global and regional levels. This commitment follows a previous contribution of €4.4 billion for 2021-2023. For maximum impact, the EU will invest through Global Gateway, supporting essential infrastructure, access to public services, local agri-food chains, and sustainable economic growth. The summit is a key moment for global nutrition, with potential outcomes including improved health outcomes for vulnerable populations and strengthened international cooperation on nutrition.
