Ahead of the 2025 World Bank Annual Meetings, the Multilateral Development Bank Nutrition Financing Advocacy Coalition has issued a joint statement

In humanitarian crises, food security is often treated as a standalone goal. But World Vision is helping shift that paradigm — proving that protecting children must be central to how we feed, recover, and rebuild. Together with the Child Protection Area of Responsibility, the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, Plan International, and the Food Security Cluster, World Vision is setting a new standard: one where child well-being is not an afterthought, but a core outcome of humanitarian response.

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

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.
