Ready to Learn and Thrive Sharing the School Health and Nutrition Global Status Report

The Child Health Task Force, UNESCO, and the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition hosted a webinar to mark the publication of the joint report, Ready to Learn and Thrive: School Health and Nutrition around the World (highlights here).

During the presentation, participants heard from UNESCO, to introduce this ground-breaking publication, and the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition, to describe how country-led efforts of more than 75 countries are working to restart, scale, and increase the quality of national school meals and complementary programs, guided by independent evidence generated by a global network of academics to inform robust policymaking.

Presenters:

• Christopher Castle, Director, Division of Peace and Sustainable Development, UNESCO
• Donald Bundy, Director of the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition
