Last week, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) announced the launch of Compact2025, an ambitious new global initiative for ending hunger and undernutrition by 2025, as a first step to ending extreme poverty.
Compact2025, which was launched this past Wednesday, November 18 at an event which also celebrated IFPRI’s 40th anniversary, will bring stakeholders together to set priorities, innovate and learn, fine-tune actions, build on successes, and synthesize sharable lessons to accelerate countries’ progress towards ending hunger and undernutrition.
Compact2025’s Knowledge and Innovation Hub will provide policymakers and practitioners with pragmatic, evidence-based guidance on scaling up successful policies. The initiative begins with four focal countries: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Malawi, and Rwanda.
