Palais des Nations
As part of the United Nations Global Action Plan on Child Wasting, FAO requires USD 500 million to implement its action plan to prevent child wasting (2023-2024) in the 15 most-affected countries.
FAO's response complements the combined efforts of the other UN agencies - Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), World Food Programme (WFP) and World Health Organization (WHO) - to support early detection, prevention and treatment services by enhancing nutrition in emergency and resilience agriculture response.
FAO aims to reach 1 million vulnerable households with at-risk children, pregnant and lactation women and girls to prevent child wasting or to ensure that there are no relapses for children discharged after undergoing treatment
