In 2025, the ENOUGH Campaign made significant strides in advancing global nutrition, child-focused food security, and humanitarian assistance. Ahead of the Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris, World Vision and partners engaged more than 12,000 people across 54 countries, including 40% children, in nutrition dialogues. These discussions highlighted lived experiences of hunger and generated practical recommendations that shaped global commitments, resulting in US$27.55 billion in pledged nutrition financing and World Vision’s own commitment of US$1 billion in private funding alongside US$1.1 billion in microfinance support for small-scale farmers. The Summit also saw the adoption of a Youth Declaration, emphasizing the importance of children and young people participating in decisions about their nutrition.
Strengthening the nutrition workforce remained a key focus, with World Vision supporting nearly 200,000 community health workers across 43 countries. These workers contribute to maternal nutrition, Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF), Growth Monitoring and Promotion (GMP), and adolescent health programs. Gender-transformative programming also gained momentum, addressing how social inequalities impact the nutrition of over a billion women and adolescent girls. In countries such as Bangladesh and South Sudan, engaging women and men in community decision-making led to significant improvements in breastfeeding, dietary diversity, and women’s participation in household nutrition choices.
Child-led research and school meals initiatives were central to the campaign’s approach. Over 1,200 children from 13 countries conducted research on the school meals they consume, providing recommendations based on their lived experiences. At the 2nd School Meals Coalition Global Summit in Brazil, 23 new member states and 46 new partners joined, and more than 40 governments made new commitments to expand school meal programs. In Rwanda, Haiti, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, World Vision’s integrated school meal programs improved learner retention, attendance, and leadership skills, demonstrating the value of combining nutrition with education and community engagement.
Humanitarian advocacy and food assistance continued to be critical, particularly in challenging contexts such as Ethiopia, Sudan, Myanmar, and Venezuela. World Vision collaborated with key stakeholders like WFP, FAO, UNHCR, and OCHA to influence funding and policies on cash and voucher assistance. Studies across 13 crisis contexts highlighted the adverse effects of reduced food aid on children’s health, education, and protection, reinforcing the need for child-sensitive humanitarian responses. Faith leaders also united in Rome to advocate for the right to food and nutrition for marginalized communities.
World Vision contributed to global climate advocacy at COP30 in Brazil, promoting child-centered climate action through evidence generation, strategic engagement, and co-leading 11 side events. Key outcomes included recognition of children as stakeholders in climate action, global commitments to triple adaptation finance by 2030, operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund, and adoption of the Hungry Futures Index to link hunger and poverty to climate change.
Looking ahead to 2026, the ENOUGH Campaign will continue to prioritize nutrition and child-sensitive food systems, address the intersection of conflict and hunger affecting children, and follow up on Nutrition and School Meals commitments made in 2025. The campaign’s upcoming Annual Report in May 2026 will provide further details on its global impact, highlighting policy achievements, program delivery, and country-level results.
