Launch of Compact2025

November 17, 2015 by bjones

Eliminating hunger and undernutrition is key to ending extreme poverty. Doing so will pave the way for achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—the anchor of the post-2015 agenda. We can end hunger and undernutrition—and we can do so by 2025.

Compact2025 will serve as a global knowledge and innovation hub to experiment, learn, and share evidence for pragmatic, action-oriented strategies. It will offer evidence-based context-specific strategies to support countries, institutions, and initiatives for the elimination of hunger and undernutrition by 2025.
