The first U.S. government Global Nutrition Coordination Plan was launched in June of 2016 and came to conclusion in September 2021. Its inception reflected a recognition of the central importance of nutrition to saving lives and improving the prospects of future generations of children around the world, and the potential to enhance U.S. government contributions to the global efforts to these ends.

This five-year summary report describes the achievements on the seven priority coordination actions of the Plan, defined as the backbone for collaborative U.S. government nutrition programming.
