We have a tendency to suggest a sense of urgency for many of the development issues we face today, but when we are talking about food and nutrition security, we are talking about people not having enough to eat and there is no higher urgency than this. The urgency of scaling up #socialprotection to end hunger and malnutrition was at the center of the #WBGMeetings and the #G20 Alliance against #Poverty and #Hunger. #AdaptiveSocialProtection can: 👉 prepare countries and households for shocks before they happen; 👉 build human capital with nutrition-focused services; 👉 support sustainable food value chains through investments in skills and jobs for the poor. #jobsnow A great discussion co-chaired by: ⭐️ Anne Beathe Tvinnereim, #Norway’s Minister of International Development; and ⭐️ Mamta Murthi, Vice President for Human Development, #WorldBank With the following participants: 🌎 Jacob Mazalale, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Finance, #Malawi 🌎 Daiho Fujii, Deputy Vice Minister for International Affairs of #Japan 🌎 Phil Stevens, Director for International Finance, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, #UK 🌎 Julian Lampietti, Practice Manager, Agriculture and Food, the #WorldBank 🌎 Áine Hearns, Director, #Irland’s Department of Foreign Affairs 🌎 Meera Shekar, Global Lead for Nutrition, the #WorldBank 🌎 Afshan Khan, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General and Coordinator of the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement 🌎 Rene van Hell, Director of the Inclusive Green Growth, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, #Netherlands 🌎 Nancy Eslick, Senior Deputy Assistant to the Administrator, Bureau for Resilience, Environment, and Food Security, #USAID 🌎 Susanna Gable Gable, Deputy Director of Development Policy and Finance, Gates Foundation - United States 🌎 Jim Emerson, President, #PowerofNutrition And chaired by: 🌏 Iffath Sharif, Global Director Social Protection and Jobs, #WorldBank Trine Lunde, Mia Blakstad, PhD, Mattias Lundberg, Caroline Vagneron, socialprotection.org, Jamele Rigolini, Marcus Manuel, #SpringMeetings

"Children can’t wait for a 20-point plan, or a set of targets to be reached. They live the reality of poverty now, it is affecting them now, and today’s experience will have long term negative consequences for them and for our society. So we need zero. When your target is zero, no idea to resolve the issue is rejected. Everything must be considered for potential effectiveness, no matter which side of politics or socio-economic theory it comes from. When you have a target of zero children in poverty, you make different choices about the use of our collective resources and you make different choices about timeframes. The Salvation Army has as one of its organisational values “Do what is right, not what is easy.” As a society lets fulfil this for our tamariki. Let’s stop debating and commit to and legislate for child poverty-zero."
