This webinar presents the key findings and recommendations from the Delivering Lifesaving Nutrition Report, the outcome of a pivotal, two-day Nutrition Retreat convened in Ottawa in the Fall of 2025. The retreat was convened by Action Against Hunger Canada (ACF) and the Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health (CanWaCH), bringing together leaders from government, civil society, academia, philanthropy, and communities worldwide to identify practical, evidence-based recommendations for Canada’s and all global nutrition leaders’ roles in addressing the global hunger crisis.

Key recommendations discussed included the importance of:

• Strengthening prevention alongside treatment of acute malnutrition.
• Investing in strong nutrition data and early warning systems.
• Integrating nutrition across humanitarian and development nexus.
• Supporting resilient national systems and local leadership.
• Increasing predictable, flexible, multi-year nutrition financing.

A Q&A with the panel followed the session.
