The Nutrition for Growth 2025 Summit in Paris brought together more than 127 delegations, including 106 governments, as well as numerous international organizations, civil society actors, development banks, philanthropic organizations, research institutions, and businesses.
In total, the international community’s financial commitments for nutrition reached an all-time high amount of $27.55 billion dollars.
Some 120 stakeholders have recorded more than 400 commitments on the Nutrition Accountability Framework platform.
The majority of commitments were made by States and civil society organizations.
The commitments made during the Summit have been published on the official Summit website. Accountability and the ability to track these commitments over the coming years will be crucial to ensure their impact.
The amount mobilized in Paris surpasses the record set at the previous N4G Summit in Tokyo in 2021, in a context of reduced international aid from major donor countries. Among them, the United States, the largest global donor of food aid, had pledged more than 11 billion dollars at the 2021 N4G Summit, but did not announce any new financial commitments at the 2025 edition.
The majority of commitments were made at the national level, although a significant portion are global, regional, or multi-country commitments.
Among the recorded commitments, 53 (13%) are financial and 350 (87%) are political. Among the political commitments:
Development banks responded massively to the call, with :
The European Union and its Member States also showed a strong commitment, with a total of 6.5 billion euros, including :
Philanthropic organizations also played a crucial role, mobilizing more than 2 billion dollars :

Some countries, including Madagascar, Côte d’Ivoire, Guatemala, and Bangladesh, have made notable political commitments to address the burden of malnutrition in their countries.
France, at the national level, committed to strengthening education on sustainable diets, promoting the prevention and early detection of malnutrition, and improving the nutritional quality of the food supply. France also stated that nutrition and the monitoring of the N4G Paris Summit commitments would be on the agenda of the French presidency of the G7 in 2026.
Only companies that adhere to the N4G Summit engagement principles (see the engagement guide here) were allowed to participate and make commitments at the Summit. However, in order to facilitate a dialogue with the entire private sector, a parallel event entitled “Private Sector and Nutrition : A Shared Responsibility” was organized by the Paris Peace Forum, in collaboration with ATNi and GAIN on March 26 prior to the Summit.
This event notably launched the Paris Declaration on Business and Nutrition 2030, a roadmap for transforming food systems by 2030. The Declaration proposes targeted actions for each stakeholder.
In particular, it encourages businesses to redirect their investments and activities to reformulate the composition of their products to improve nutritional quality, or to avoid promoting unhealthy foods by adapting their marketing strategies. It also urges investors to integrate nutritional criteria into their investment strategies.
Beyond the private sector, this roadmap also seeks to mobilize governments, civil society, and international organizations to promote a healthier and more sustainable “nutrition economy.”
The roadmap also calls on non-profits and international organizations to develop frameworks for private sector engagement in nutrition, and to define their roles and responsibilities.
Governments are urged to redirect the subsidies they provide to businesses to encourage the production and consumption of more nutritious foods.
At the closing of the Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris, children and young people from around the world presented their Call to Action, urging leaders to act on the malnutrition crisis. Representing thousands of young people who shared their challenges and solutions, they emphasized the need for urgent action and genuine youth engagement for sustainable change in the fight against malnutrition.
On the sidelines of the N4G Summit, civil society organizations from around the world gathered for two days at the Civil Society Pavilion to address urgent challenges in the nutrition landscape and to chart a common path forward. From these discussions, civil society united around a set of key recommendations, supported by over one hundred organizations that signed this declaration.

A global coalitionto fight malnutrition has been launched through a new Global Compact for Nutrition Integration. The goal of this initiative is to encourage signatories to integrate nutritional goals into their policies, programs, and investments across various sectors, and to collaborate to implement their commitments.
In a context of reduced budgets allocated to combating global inequalities, the N4G Summits serve as key moments to remobilize the international community in the fight against malnutrition. The host of the next Summit is not yet known at this time.
At the conclusion of the Summit, several civil society organizations reacted to the commitments made, particularly those of France:
