Why is Hunger Rising? Making the Business Case for Food Security and Nutrition-Sensitive SP

Social Protection is Expanding—So Why is Hunger Rising? Making the Business Case for Food Security and Nutrition-Sensitive Social Protection This webinar was designed to accompany the launch of Social Protection for Food Security and Nutrition: A Business Case, bringing together evidence, country experiences, and policy perspectives to explore why hunger and malnutrition are rising despite the expansion of social protection systems. It highlighted the need to move beyond income support towards nutrition-sensitive approaches, particularly in crisis-prone contexts, and aimed to inform policy reform, financing decisions, and donor engagement by framing nutrition as a critical investment in resilience, equity, and long-term development.
