The funding gap between nutrition needs and resources available is widening as donors reduce their support for stunting and anemia prevention and exclusive breastfeeding. https://t.co/ZDbdvGWYWR

Really great to see evaluations of the utility of research in global health as well as evaluations of bilateral aid. The UK's ICAI just published a groundbreaking report on both. https://t.co/4YH2KzMtwM

Cash transfers improve food security in the long-term by increasing self-sufficiency through agricultural production. Empowerment is helping people help themselves, not doing it for them.

The #SCoP continues to support the exchange of ideas around how to successfully scale health interventions. #CEL shows that intensive community engagement and scaling can happen side-by-side. https://t.co/nfxs3YQIC4

The food system is a major contributor to climate change. But, diets that are good for the planet are also good for us.

The EU has reaffirmed its commitment to providing Official Development Assistance. But, how will they decide what to fund? How will they know if it is working?

Is the answer to work-life balance more work? A main job and a passion-job can help you feel energized about both. I have my job in international development and am starting a small farm. Neither IS the reason I get out of bed. They both are. https://t.co/M3pVHa15LS

Really interesting to see a the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Finland transparently report on the success of country programs over the last 3 years. More MFAs should follow their lead.

ADB's thematic evaluation of their rural development and food security programs is cautious and introspective with a growth mindset. Recommendations: clarify objectives, improve coordination, leverage the private sector, develop a finance tracking system.

27% of children globally suffer severe food poverty. But, these cases are not as concentrated in poor households as you might think. What else is causing food poverty and how can we end it?

💥Funders need to shift from transactional scaling (spending more, doing more) to transformational scaling (achieving long-term, sustainable change that addresses significant portions of global problems). 💯

So exited to see another update to #3ie 's Food Systems and Nutrition E&GM! They added 431 new studies to the map, which has almost passed the 3,000 mark for included studies. They expanded the scope to include social protection and social insurance.

If we are going to effectively alleviate global poverty and hunger, we need to stop working one village at a time, and start working at the global scale. This is a really interesting new read from the #ScalingCommunityofPractice on scaling fundamentals.

Researching interventions to develop a nutritious food system is challenging due to a lack of evidence, the complex and complicated nature of the food system, challenges establishing causality and collecting data, and difficulties in outcome measurement.

Aid agencies need to move beyond preventing abuses to mainstreaming human rights. Health & education projects are making progress adapting strategies to empower marginalized groups in tough political climates. Others should follow. https://t.co/VLVGYqwrAA

New interactive tool from FEWSNET projecting our exposure to extreme heat. Scary, but good to know. I always like interactive tools that allow me to probe and ask questions on my own. https://t.co/bsG7y3AVxx

WHO passed amendments for global health security. It
1. Defined a pandemic emergency
2. Established a committee and national authorities to implement the amendements and improve coordination
3. Agreed on a plan to finalize the pandemic agreement

Best buy to improve women's agricultural income: large, one-off cash transfers for productive asset investments.
