The draft was put together by FAO, UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP and WHO to develop a common vision of what it will take to achieve the WHA and SDG targets on wasting reduction, as well as actions to increase coverage of treatment services. The plan is to have the endorsed GAP, along with immediate UN actions to support it, publicly available in early March 2020. Discussions to identify commitments and actions by governments and other key stakeholders will continue throughout 2020, with the aim to release the action plan at the Tokyo Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit, to be held in December 2020.
