This month we were joined by our very own Sunit Bagree, Senior Policy Advocacy Officer for Nutrition here at Results UK, to discuss our latest action calling for debt justice to help end malnutrition.
Global nutrition is in an alarming state, with 2.8 billion people unable to afford healthy food. And while cost-effective ways to improve nutrition exist, many lower-income countries are trapped by high levels of debt, starving them of resources needed to provide nutrition and healthcare. This month we are taking action to tackle the debt crisis and end malnutrition!
