Investing in Nutrition: Catalysing Capital for Greater Impact
About the Event
Despite being one of the most cost-effective development investments, nutrition remains significantly underfunded. As traditional development financing evolves, there is an urgent need to unlock new sources of capital and embed nutrition outcomes within broader investment portfolios through innovative financing approaches.
As part of Asia Impact House during AVPN Global Conference Week, Nutrition International, in partnership with Desai & Associates (D&A) and MASH, is convening an invitation-only discussion on how innovative financing can accelerate nutrition outcomes across Asia.
Bringing together leaders from development finance institutions, philanthropy, impact investing, government and implementing organisations, the convening will explore practical financing solutions that can mobilise greater investment and strengthen cross-sector collaboration.
Discussion Themes
Integrating nutrition into investments across health, food systems, climate and social protection.
Innovative financing approaches, including blended finance, catalytic philanthropy and outcome-based financing to mobilise additional capital for nutrition.
