Asian Impact Webinar 101 : Asian Development Policy Lecture - Joel Spicer

Malnutrition is costing Asia billions of dollars every year, silently eroding national productivity, draining fiscal resources, and locking millions of children and families into intergenerational poverty.

According to the World Bank’s “Investment Framework for Nutrition,” investing in nutrition is one of the most cost-effective ways to boost economic growth and human development, with every $1 invested in nutrition yielding up to $23 in economic returns.

In the next Asian Impact webinar, Nutrition International’s President and CEO, Joel Spicer, will deliver a lecture titled “Investing in Nutrition: Unlocking Human Capital and Economic Potential Across Asia.” He will discuss how nutrition-smart financing can unlock Asia’s full potential.
