United Against Malnutrition & Hunger
@uamh.bsky.social
United Against Malnutrition & Hunger (UAMH) is an alliance pressing the UK Government and politicians of all parties for global action on malnutrition and hunger, which is the cause of 45% of deaths of children under 5.
We bring people together who want a world where everyone has nutrition to survive & contribute to prosperous, stable communities.

Huge thanks to the brilliant speakers & contributors at the launch of our report.
Esteemed Agenda Setters & Nutrition Champions!

Launching today on uamh.uk!
Malnutrition traps 100s of millions in poverty. Surging debt repayments are making it much worse.
Debt and Malnutrition: Ending the Doom Loop exposes the problem & shows how debt can be transformed into a tool for growth. #DebtAndHunger

There is famine in Sudan, where food is being used as a weapon of war - an utterly desperate emergency highlighted by @AnnelieseDodds.

Blocking food aid is against International Humanitarian Law.

The UK must lead the way in upholding the law & advocate strongly for compliance.

Debt soars. Nutrition services shrink.

That’s happening in low-income countries right now.

Debt and Malnutrition: Ending the Doom Loop shows how to change debt into a tool to improve child nutrition.

Polling reveals public support for action.

Published tomorrow.

Tomorrow, we publish Debt and Malnutrition: Ending the Doom Loop. 

Our analysis of 9 LMICs reveals rising debt fuels hunger by shrinking nutrition services. 

It offers practical solutions - and we’re thrilled @aoteh will Chair the launch event. Stay tuned #DebtAndHunger

Global malnutrition has soared, driving poverty and unrest.

The UK can lead change by protecting nutrition ODA and supporting fair debt reform.

Growth - isn’t that what we want?

Every US$1 invested in nutrition returns US$23.
Debt reform that supports global nutrition is smart economics.

Thank you @EdwardMorelloWD, for leading this debate on Planned Reductions in Official Development Assistance in International Development.
 
The timing of cuts is terrible. They come as global need is rising, and many millions of children are suffering unimaginably from hunger.
November 7, 2025 at 4:06 PM
In 2023, low- and middle-income countries spent over US$400 billion on debt repayments - more than on health and education.
This fuels hunger and malnutrition.

Malnutrition costs up to 10% of GDP in affected countries, draining economies and futures.

Debt repayments are swallowing budgets that should feed children.

Watch out for the UAMH report on how to break this doom loop to be published 12 November #DebtAndHunger

Well said @Lord_Collins Nutrition is foundational to the development of every human being’s body, brain & immunity. That makes nutrition foundational to economic development. To growth! To jobs! That’s why addressing malnutrition is required for real change.

As our CEO @jonny_oates said in #WorldFoodDay's Starvation as a Weapon of War Debate, hunger & conflict are locked in a deadly cycle. Conflict causes food insecurity.
Food insecurity causes instability. UK ODA investment in nutrition can help break this cycle #FoodSecurity
October 17, 2025 at 12:35 PM
Thank you @lynbrownmp for tabling this important #WorldFoodDay debate. 

Starvation is being used as a weapon of war. Children are innocent victims of this outrage & suffer terribly. 

Malnutrition is the biggest killer of under 5s.  International Humanitarian Law must be upheld.
October 16, 2025 at 4:33 PM
Thank you to all the nutrition champions at the party conferences.
 
Malnutrition is preventable & treatable. Yet it kills more than 2 million under 5s a year.
 
We need political commitment to stop this tragedy.
 
A hungry world isn't healthy or secure.

720 million people are going hungry.
This #WorldFoodDay, hold up an #EmptyPlate and demand leaders take action. 

Hunger is a political choice. Show your #EmptyPlates to tell leaders: we choose action.

#HungryforAction

This #WorldFoodDay: 📸 Empty plate. 🗣 Tag leaders. 🍽
Demand change.
October 16, 2025 at 6:01 AM
Now more than ever, we must invest in resilience.
The #G20 must show real leadership and follow through on commitments to end hunger and poverty, including implementing and financing the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty.

Hunger is human-made.

️People starve not from a lack of food, but lack of action. Every empty plate is a failure of leadership, not a tragedy, but a choice.

It’s time to end it.

Hunger in the 21st century is a political choice.
❌ 720M people go to bed hungry while solutions exist.

Leaders, who do you serve? We demand action to save lines NOW.

We need to talk about this!
Malnutrition signals inequality. It stunts development & weakens immunity.
From Grassroots to Global: Advancing Health Equity Together is @AFGHnetwork's event @UKLabour Conference. Our Expert Adviser @RohYakobi will be speaking.

Child stunting has dropped to 23.2% globally, showing that targeted nutrition interventions work. 

Leaders can help protect the next generation by supporting policies that fund maternal health, improve diets and build resilient global food systems.

School meal programmes in Latin America have improved nutrition, school attendance and local economies. 

The UK can support and expand such initiatives worldwide, helping children to thrive. MPs can drive this through aid commitments and international partnerships.

He should know.
 
As Former Head of the Army & top strategist, Lord Dannatt says, Defence, Diplomacy & Development are the 3 cores of UK influence around the world.
 
Governments have cut ODA. Conflict reflects that.
 
Nutrition is foundational to development.
