The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the launch of the Global Compact on Nutrition Integration at Nutrition For Growth in Paris, what steps his Department is taking to integrate nutrition objectives into its policies.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) continues to integrate nutrition objectives across its international development policies and programming. This includes application of the OECD Development Assistance Committee Nutrition Policy Marker and the provision of advice and assistance to colleagues across The FCDO's network to strengthen our capability to integrate nutrition in our Official Development Assistance programmes. Progress is assessed by independent experts and published in the FCDO's annual Nutrition Accountability Report. The FCDO will publish the next iteration of the report around June 2025.
