Every child deserves access to safe, nutritious food, yet millions across Africa face hunger and malnutrition due to conflict, climate shocks, and fragile food systems. Together, we must invest in resilient agriculture, empower communities, and ensure that nutrition is at the heart of food security strategies.

Faith leaders unite in a global call for justice, urging governments to uphold the right to food and nutrition for all, especially children.

Cities have always symbolised opportunity, innovation, and human progress. Yet today, they are also at the epicentre of the climate crisis, hotbeds of inequality and environmental fragility.

An uncomfortable truth: without placing children at the heart of resilience strategies, we are merely managing decline rather than building the future.

For #WorldCitiesDay Aline argues that smart cities aren’t built with sensors and data alone, but with empathy, inclusion, and justice.

The coalition’s call comes at a defining moment for global development. Investing in nutrition is an imperative for human development and children’s right to thrive.
