The World Bank global Investment Framework for Nutrition 2024 identified US$128 billion in additional financing required in the coming 10 years – or $13 billion per year – to scale up nutrition interventions, which translates to $13 per pregnant woman and $17 per child under 5 years of age on average. Yet, investment in nutrition offers unparalleled returns. Every $1 invested in addressing undernutrition yields $23 in returns, generating $2.4 trillion in economic benefits. These investments can avert 6.2 million deaths in children under 5 and 980,000 stillbirths and save children from the consequences of malnutrition in different forms, including averting 27 million additional stunting cases.
