Registration Now Open: Delivering for Nutrition in South Asia 2025 – Towards Impact at Scale!

Overview

The Delivering for Nutrition in South Asia (D4N) 2025 Conference will take place from December 2–4, 2025 in Kathmandu (and online). Registration is now open for this regional event, which focuses on advancing large-scale, evidence-driven solutions to South Asia’s persistent nutrition challenges.

Co-organized by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), CGIAR, and a broad consortium of regional and global partners, D4N 2025 aims to help South Asian countries move from policy commitments to coordinated, impactful implementation.

Expected participants

The conference will bring together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, development agencies, and other stakeholders from across the eight South Asian countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). Discussions will focus on pathways to scale within health systems, agrifood systems, education, social protection, market systems, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Cross-cutting themes include equity, climate-related vulnerabilities, and measurement and evaluation.

In-person registration will remain open until venue capacity is reached, while virtual registration will stay open until the event begins. Participants are also encouraged to join the official D4N2025 WhatsApp group for updates.

Topical areas

The six topical areas below recognize that diverse systems must be leveraged to deliver actions for nutrition impact at scale. Building on the Nutrition for Growth Summit, D4N2025 will focus both on major systems/sectors and on areas that need attention to strengthen nutrition impact at scale.

• Health systems
• Agrifood systems
• Social protection systems
• Education systems
• Market systems
• Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) systems

Across all systems, cross-cutting areas include:

• Measurement, monitoring and evaluation
• Enabling environments that support the delivery of nutrition actions at scale
• Equity considerations: intersectionality, gender and social inclusion
• Impacts of climate and other shocks

Registration

• Registration is free and takes ~2 minutes.
