Résumé

Trudy Wijnhoven (Nutrition Officer, FAO) gives presentation about the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016–2025, also referred to as the Nutrition Decade. It was declared by the United Nations General Assembly in April 2016. It is a commitment by United Nations Member States to undertake 10 years of sustained and coherent implementation of policies, programmes and increased investments to eliminate malnutrition in all its forms, everywhere, leaving no one behind.

The Framework for Action sets forth 60 recommendations to guide the effective implementation of the commitments included in the Rome Declaration on Nutrition. Governments are currently off-track to meet the global nutrition and diet-related NCD targets. The Nutrition Decade highlights the urgency to act and provides a focused period of 10 years to set and achieve impact at country level.

Together, the Second International Conference (ICN2), the 2030 Agenda and the Nutrition Decade have placed nutrition firmly at the heart of the sustainable development agenda with the recognition that transformed food systems have a fundamental role to play in promoting healthy diets and tackling malnutrition in all its forms.
