UNICEF Supports Mozambique’s Participation in the N4G Paris 2025 Summit
With support from the European Union through the NutriNorte partnership, UNICEF facilitated Mozambique’s participation in the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit in Paris.
With support from the European Union through the NutriNorte partnership, UNICEF facilitated Mozambique’s participation in the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit in Paris (27–28 March), hosted by the French Government.
The Mozambican delegation was led by Dr Lucia Luciano (Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Fisheries) and Dr Antonio Pacheco (SESTAN). The N4G Summit, attended by over 127 delegations, called for stronger global alignment of policies and resources, and better integration of nutrition across the health, agriculture, education, and climate sectors.
Mozambique is adopting this systems approach – focusing on these sectors and beyond – through its new Food Security and Nutrition Policy and Action Plan (PESAN 2024–2030). PESAN aims to reduce the prevalence of stunting in children under five from the current 37% to 30% or below by 2030, reflecting the country’s strong commitment to prioritising nutrition within its development agenda.
UNICEF and partners, including the EU, supported Mozambique in drafting its renewed N4G commitments and will continue to support their implementation. The summit also mobilised over US$27 billion to accelerate progress towards nutrition-related Sustainable Development Goals.
