Feeding the future: Leveraging multisectoral efforts…

Co-hosted by Qatar, Finland, Bulgaria, Japan, Indonesia and UNICEF, this side event
will highlight the importance of shared vision through the multi-sectoral approach for
the effective implementation of the FNMP, where the eradication of malnutrition will not
only help to achieve SDG 2, but also many other objectives related to SDG 3, SDG 4,
SDG 5, and SDG 8. It will bring together representatives from government,
development partners, the private sector, and civil society to share best practices and
experiences, particularly within the framework of the SDGs in their own policies,
strategies, and action plans. The discussion will focus on the FNMP's contributions to
sustaining productive human capital and enhancing women's participation in national
development.

The event will catalyse greater movement on sustainable school meals as a crosssector
solution to build productive human capital and engage women participation that
builds up momentum toward other global key events, among others the Second Global
Summit of the School Meals Coalition (SMC) that will take place in Fortaleza, Brazil, in
September 2025.
