DescThe Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Consortium (HMHB) hosts two Technical Advisory Groups composed of renowned scientists who continue to publish new evidence and guidance documents on maternal nutrition interventions: Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) and balanced energy-protein supplements. Among others, new outputs included guidance on Implementation Science and the use of MMS in Anaemia treatment. The 2nd Africa Maternal Nutrition and MMS meeting in Kenya, co-hosted with Kenya's State Department of Public Health, engaged over 130 leaders from 17 African countries in a dynamic sharing of experiences, and resulted in a Call to Action urging leaders to scale up maternal nutrition interventions, notably MMS as part of antenatal care services.Desc

DescThe Standing Together for Nutrition Consortium (ST4N) published the Global Resilience Report in partnership with UNICEF and the World Food Programme, which summarizes the impact and lessons of the poly-crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, and climate events, leading to crucial policy recommendations to safeguard nutrition during future crises. To support ST4N in collating and generating the evidence on the linkages between the climate and nutrition crises and policy solutions, a new multidisciplinary Steering Committee was formed. An overview of evidence and policy messages was presented at an I-CAN meeting at the Rome Nutrition Week, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS 52), and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 29).Desc
