The first 1000 days period from pregnancy through age two is considered critical in shaping a baby’s lifelong health and development. The 1000 Days partnership focuses on action and investment to improve nutrition for mothers and children during this time.

Visit the 1000 Days website which tells you why mothers and babies need balanced diets and micronutrients during this crucial time to kick start healthy lives for babies. There are amazing success stories of the dramatic impacts 1000 days partners have made in developing countries and emergencies where expectant mothers and babies are particularly vulnerable.

Many of us do not realize that solutions to prevent and treat undernutrition already exist. The partners of this project are striving hard to provide as many strong nutrition programmes as possible for mothers and babies. They also promote sound policies and better investments in agricultural sectors to build sustainable economies for the benefit of mothers and babies. Check out the site and find out how we can safeguard the wellbeing of our future generations of individuals, families and communities around the world.
