<p>Global commitments to nutrition made at the 2013 Nutrition For Growth Summit come
to an end this year. 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 reiterates the importance of nutrition in her endorsement for
the DFID-funded Global Nutrition Report, which will be published in May.</p><p>DFID
is looking at options for the UK commitment now that both the Olympic pledging event
and the main Nutrition for Growth Summit have been postponed. 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. We will provide an update on our plans
in due course.</p>
