SUMMARY:Where is the anaemia target for young children? The missing WHA nutrition target. Perspectives on home fortification for children under five
DESCRIPTION:The Nutrition for Growth Summit is an opportunity to define a clear vision for where donors and countries need to invest to eliminate malnutrition. Our solution-focused virtual side events will look at what nutrition priorities should be to drive country-led\, evidence-based\, fully financed nutrition programs for the future. \nHosted by the Home Fortification Technical Advisory Group – co-chaired by Nutrition International and UNICEF – this event will dive into why it’s imperative for planners\, speakers and donors at N4G to call for the World Health Assembly to set anaemia targets for infants and young children and promote investment in evidence-based interventions to improve the iron status of young children. This event will include valuable participation from the Nutrition Scaling Working Group. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Multisectoral Collaboration in Action: Practical insights into addressing malnutrition through a multisectoral approach
DESCRIPTION:The rationale for a multisectoral approach to addressing malnutrition is clear – what may be less clear is how to achieve this in practice.

A diverse panel – with expertise from government\, multilateral and bilateral agencies and civil society – will discuss enabling conditions and strategies for overcoming challenges related to multisectoral partnerships; leadership and governance; financing; program implementation; and progress tracking and accountability. Panelists will also debate cross-cutting opportunities for impact in the context of the N4G Summit. The session will prompt dialogue between panelists and participants on how to make successful multisectoral nutrition approaches a reality and accelerate progress toward global nutrition goals.\n\nModerated by Dr Ellen Piwoz\, panelists include: \n• Dr Alok Ranjan\, Director of Investments\, The Power of Nutrition\n• Dr Mandana Arabi\, Vice President\, Global Technical Services\, Nutrition International\n• Samuel Dusengiyumva\, Permanent Secretary\, Ministry of Local Government\, Government of Rwanda\n• Menno Mulder-Sibanda\, Senior Nutrition Specialist\, World Bank\n• Dr Sheikh Shahed Rahman\, Chief of Party – Suchana\, Save the Children in Bangladesh; Secretary\, Civil Society Alliance for Scaling up Nutrition Bangladesh\n• Pooja Pandey Rana\, Chief of Party – Suaahara II Good Nutrition Program\, Helen Keller International\n• Dr Denisa-Elena Ionete\, Ambassador\, EU Delegation in Niger\n• Joachim Beijmo\, Head of Mission\, Swedish Embassy in DRC\n• Megan Rhodes\, Acting Director of the Center for Nutrition\, USAID

SUMMARY:Canadian Conference on Global Health: Rethinking partnership paradigms in global health

Specifically\, how have partnerships demonstrated tangible improvements to health and how they have facilitated the spread of social\, health and environmental improvements? How do partnerships impact the lives of those that work within them and how do they benefit other organizations or communities outside of the partnership? \nRegistration is available in two formats: \nIn-Person\nThe CCGH will accept a limited number of people in person at the Delta Hotel in Ottawa. The number of in-person attendees will depend on public health guidelines. At this time we will accept 85 registrations and any further will be waitlisted.

SUMMARY:Towards a More Equal Future – The Role of Gender Equality in Ending Malnutrition by 2030
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has exposed gaps in nutrition efforts that have always required a shift in gendered power dynamics and decision-making. Put simply\, good nutrition cultivates gender equality\, and gender equality cultivates good nutrition. We must make gender equality the central catalyst\, to sustainably improve nutrition and access to affordable healthy diets for all. \nJoin host Femi Oke\, World Vision\, as well as partners Standing Together for Nutrition\, Scaling Up Nutrition\, Save the Children\, CARE\, and Nutrition International as we look at how gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls are central parts of building back better. The event will reflect on the key gender wins from the UN Food System Summit and spotlight Member States who have risen to the challenge of prioritizing gender equality within their commitments and action plans.

SUMMARY:Global Health Students and Young Professionals Summit
DESCRIPTION:The theme of this year’s Global Health Students and Young Professionals Summit (GHSYP) Summit is Ideas to Impact: Toolbox Talks: Practical Skills for Becoming Global Health Professionals. \nThis year’s GHSYPS aims to prepare attendees for becoming emergent health professionals by introducing applicable skills grounded in equity-centered practices.
