[United to Beat Malaria @beatmalaria]

NEW in @USATODAY: NFL player, malaria survivor Calvin Anderson urges an immediate restart to lifesaving malaria-fighting programs like the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative. Read here: https://t.co/8fsJou3Agf

We’re grateful to Calvin for using his voice to share his story. Malaria programs keep all of us more safe & secure, ensuring health security for Americans abroad and millions in PMI-partner countries.

Even more in wintertime, love your #library, a shared space to combat #loneliness!
#community @socialhealth_CA @GenWellProject

[GenWell @GenWellProject]

Sometimes, just being in a shared space, like our local library, can diminish feelings of loneliness among our elderly. These safe havens foster warmth and inclusion, even without a word spoken. #CommunityOverCompetition #TogetherWeAreStronger

Same here in Nicaragua, Simón, and, I guess, everywhere😠
For health's sake, stop promoting #SSBs!

[Dr. Simón Barquera @SBarquera]

Cocacola además de paralizar el tráfico del país todos los días por la mañana con sus miles de camiones repartiendo veneno, en esta fecha genera un caos con sus “caravanas” navideñas para promocionar entre nuestra infancia sus productos malsanos. El costo de estas acciones obviamente lo paga la sociedad no ellos 🤒

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate.

Less than 10% of speakers this week are women.

This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.

Key #MNF2023 takeaway @AugustinFlory
Strengthening #resilience for food & nutrition security refers to reducing risks & vulnerabilities on different pathways (food availability, income, gender...) and prepping for shocks to mitigate their impact. #NutritionForResilience @MNForum

[Denise van Wissen @FoodNutSecurity]

#MNF2023 -
#CarolineWilkinson (@ICRC @SUN_Movement) urges us to consider Humanitarian and Development efforts as complementary--on a continuum--for better nutrition outcomes.
Human trafficking--great example of how #NutritionResilience can protect the vulnerable. #N4R @MNForum

Healthy & #LeastCostDietMetrics
@sabrina_kuri: Estimates on impact of nutrition-specific & sensitive interventions build evidence base to determine which actions can contribute to nutrition resilience. #NutritionForResilience #N4R

#FoodPrices for Nutrition-2 noteworthy points from @RachelDGilbert: Unhealthy foods displace items in least-cost healthy diets +
Most unaffordability is due to low incomes--healthier diets will require higher earnings #FoodSecurity @GAINalliance @TuftsNutrition @MNForum
