After consultation with our girl guide ‘Advocacy Champions’ around the world, we are responding to the Committee on World Food Security consultation on the development of the voluntary guidelines on food systems and nutrition because we know that girls need to be healthy and well-nourished if they are to reach their full potential.

WAGGGS is using programme findings to influence decision makers and create global policy changes. Please see attached file for our consultation response.
