Improving Maternal & Child Nutrition: Partnering to Accelerate Delivery of MMS

Join us for a Tokyo Nutrition for Growth Side-event focusing on increasing the priority and accessibility of MMS by strengthening health systems in low-and-middle-income countries, raising awareness for MMS, and enhancing collaboration between public and private partners.

Joining Forces for Last Mile Nutrition (JF4LMN) partners envision this event to:

• Highlight evidence on the benefits of and need for MMS globally as a foundation for nutrition for health

• Share examples of repeatable and scalable interventions in the MMS landscape

• Demonstrate the importance of multi-sectoral partnerships in health care interventions for nutrition, sharing lessons learned from the JF4LMN Partnership

• Motivate governments, NGOs, and the private sector to collaborate on implementing MMS into national health policies, enabling local supply and demand
