Bread for the World, The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and 1,000 Days

Co-sponsored by Bread for the World, The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and 1,000 Days, this webinar heard first-hand accounts from a doctor on the front lines; from a researcher who is a core member of the Standing Together for Nutrition coalition and studying program adaptations in the context of the pandemic; and from a storyteller who shared best practices (and turnkey resources) to bring these stories to life to inspire leaders to act.

Panelists for the dialogue included:

  • Purnima Menon, Senior Research Fellow at International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
  • Dr. Meseret Zelalem, Director for Maternal, Child Health and Nutrition at the Federal Ministry of Health, Ethiopia
  • Roger Thurow, journalist, author and Senior Fellow of Global Food and Agriculture at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs
