Partnering for Nutrition Financing in the Global South

February 2024 marks a dynamic partnership between Credo Advisory and Results for Development (R4D) to advance the global nutrition agenda across Africa and Asia. This strategic alliance underscores our commitment to advancing Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and 17 (Partnership for the Goals).

Our collaboration focuses on crafting targeted communication strategies to engage stakeholders and drive tangible improvements in nutrition outcomes. Drawing upon our collective expertise, Credo Advisory is developing a comprehensive suite of communication tools, which will be instrumental in promoting the critical link between nutrition financing and sustainable development. Through compelling visual storytelling, innovative branding, and digital engagement, we seek to facilitate meaningful dialogue and empower partner countries to advocate nutrition funding.

Credo’s role in providing strategic event communications, content development, and branding technical assistance is central to this partnership. For example, on February 16, 2024, Credo facilitated a high-level nutrition side event during the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This event convened key stakeholders, including representatives from the African Union, the Ethiopian Government, the African Union Development Agency-New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD), the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, and Results for Development (R4D), to deliberate on mobilizing funding and engaging the private sector to enhance nutrition outcomes in Africa.

Recognising nutrition as a fundamental human right essential for sustainable development, Abayomi Afolabi, Senior Communications Specialist of Credo Advisory, emphasised its crucial role, stating, “Nutrition is not just sustenance; it’s the cornerstone upon which sustainable development goals are built. It fuels our bodies, empowers our minds, and shapes our future. In nourishing ourselves, we nourish the world, forging a path towards health, equity, and prosperity for all.”

Credo Advisory is proud to support nutrition initiatives for lasting economic and social outcomes in the Global South.
