<p>The UK has been a global leader on nutrition since it hosted the first Nutrition
for Growth (N4G) Summit in 2013. The Summit generated £15 billion in new financing
for nutrition up to 2020. Between 2015 and March 2019, DFID reached 50.6 million women,
adolescent girls and young children with nutrition services in 25 countries, including
Bangladesh, Somalia, Myanmar, Ethiopia and Yemen.</p><p>The UK remains committed to
preventing and treating malnutrition as part of our commitment to end the preventable
deaths of mothers, new-borns and children. Continued investment to prevent and treat
malnutrition is important, particularly as countries face worsening levels of malnutrition
in the face of COVID-19. The Secretary of State reiterated the importance of nutrition
in her endorsement for the DFID-funded Global Nutrition Report 2020, which was published
in May.</p>
