The Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty: A Collaborative Approach

What is the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty?

The Global Alliance is a collaborative initiative launched at the Brazil G20 Summit in 2024. Its primary focus is on uniting countries, organizations, and experts to combat hunger, poverty, and malnutrition through innovative policies and actionable programs.

What prompted the launch of the Alliance?

Despite global commitments to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, poverty and hunger persist. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened food insecurity and malnutrition, particularly in developing nations, highlighting the urgency of coordinated global action.

What are the Alliance’s goals?

• Eradicate hunger and poverty.
• Achieve food security and improve nutrition by 2030.
• Address socioeconomic inequalities exacerbated by conflicts and displacement.

How will the Alliance function?

The Alliance will:

• Facilitate sharing of best practices among 81 countries, international organizations, and NGOs.
• Support evidence-based policy interventions targeting vulnerable groups through initiatives like cash transfers, nutrition programs, and family support.
• Assist countries in financial and technical matters for impactful reforms.

What are the “Sprints 2030”?

These are six high-impact focus areas under the Alliance, aimed at initiatives such as school meals, cash transfers, and inclusive education for the most vulnerable populations.

Where will the Alliance be headquartered?

The main headquarters will be in Brasília, Brazil, with an additional office at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) headquarters in Rome.
