A reaction by the Generation Nutrition coalition to the EU's pledges at N4G 2025: analysis, reaction and recommendations

At the Nutrition for Growth summit in Paris, World Vision Afghanistan Advocacy Director, Mark Calder, spoke with Nadia Hashimi, a representative of the Afghan Civil Society Alliance for Food Security & Nutrition. Nadia was a featured speaker at the hashtag#N4G World Vision-facilitated event on "The Right to Food in Afghanistan." A powerful advocate for Afghan children, Nadia is on a mission to end malnutrition and ensure every child has access to proper nutrition. Her journey is deeply personal - she once was one of the at-risk children whose voices went unheard. Today, she speaks for them. Let’s amplify her message. Every child in Afghanistan deserves the right to food.

Join Laurentia Jora, World Vision’s Communications Manager, as she travels to a remote Afghan village, where World Vision’s mobile health and nutrition teams, supported by OCHA’s Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF), deliver critical care to communities with no other access to healthcare.
