A dynamic programme of high-level plenaries, thematic sessions and collaborative events will unfold across four days, each focusing on a key dimension of joint action:
- 25 May: Nutrition Evidence and Innovation for Shaping Agrifood Systems Transformation
- 26 May: Aligning Finance for Nutrition Integration
- 27 May: Local Food Solutions for Global Nutrition Impact
- 28 May: Delivering as One for Coherent Nutrition Action
The Week will culminate in a high-level flagship moment on 28 May to mark World Nutrition Day, highlighting collective progress and renewed commitments to advancing nutrition globally.
With exhibitions at FAO Atrium, networking opportunities and a full calendar of complementary events, RNW26 offers a unique platform to connect, share solutions and drive forward more effective, joined-up nutrition action.
