U.S. Investments in Global Nutrition

This week, USAID Administrator Raj Shah and other leaders will participate in several events during the 61st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Two of these events focused on the international Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement, which promotes country-led efforts in nutrition among leaders of national governments and development partners. Through Feed the Future and the Global Health Initiative, the United States Government is supporting SUN by addressing the root causes of global undernutrition and improving the potential of millions of people.
