National Security Adviser Susan Rice announced Thursday that the U.S. Agency for International Development has completed a new nutrition strategy.
“It’s a 360-degree approach that brings together our work on food security, health, water, hygiene and sanitation into an ambitious plan to reduce child stunting by 20 percent over five years,” Rice said in a speech to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Global Food Security Conference in Washington.
“That’s 2 million more children who will get a stronger, healthier start in life,” she said.
“With Feed the Future, the United States made a commitment to change the way we do business — bringing together expertise from across the government; building on the leadership of countries that invest in their own food security; and partnering with anyone doing meaningful work to defeat hunger,” Rice said.
“We need to apply that same cooperative approach across the board. The private sector, academia, and NGOs should be collaborating more — both with each other and with governments — to unite our efforts and close gaps in the food security architecture.”
