The UK remains committed to tackling malnutrition. Our commitment at the Nutrition for Growth Summit to integrate nutrition objectives across all relevant FCDO programmes means that nutrition will play a key role in achieving our objectives on ending the preventable deaths of mothers, babies and children, as well as women and girls, humanitarian aid and global health and we will use the nutrition policy marker to hold ourselves account.

The 2021 Spending Review concluded on 27 October 2021 and set departmental budgets for the next three financial years. Following this, the FCDO is currently working through an internal business planning exercise, which will determine ODA for nutrition programming.
