Public Education:2020 Hunger Report. The 2020 Hunger Report was released in May and highlights existing and emerging issues in nutrition including the prevalence of undernutrition, stunting, and wasting, and obesity. The report proposes changes to food systems that will help to prevent and treat malnutrition. The report also explores how racial and gender equity and climate change impact global nutrition. The report will be used as a resource during advocacy on new global nutrition programs, reauthorization of the Global Food Security Act Reauthorization (2023), (To be continued in Schedule O)Public Education:and the next Farm Bill (which we expect to be addressed by the end of 2024).2020 Hunger Report as the focus of a mid-June webinar focused on improving nutrition to improve health. David Nabarro, the World Health Organization's Special Envoy for COVID-19 and Rev. Heber Brown III, senior pastor of Pleasant Hope Baptist Church, Baltimore, MD, and founder of Black Church Food Security Network, were featured panelists.Climate Change. Bread for the World Institute has been educating our network about climate change and hunger since the 2010 Hunger Report. Since then, the evidence and data have become even starker. The number of hungry people in the world has been on the rise since 2016, and climate change is an underlying cause. In 2020, the Institute began to engage potential partners, young adults, and Congressional offices. The Institute conducted interviews to map the climate change advocacy community and developed a set of climate change and hunger principles. The 2020 Hunger Report included a chapter on climate change and nutrition. Gender and Racial Equity. Bread for the World Institute continues to educate our network about the policies and structural issues that perpetuate hunger and poverty at disproportionate rates in African American/Pan African, Latino, and indigenous communities. This education, analysis, and relationship-building work includes a focus on criminal justice reform and reparations. In 2020, Bread for the World Institute launched the Racial Equity and Hunger National Network in partnership with Share Our Strength and organizations based in Los Angeles and Little Rock.The Institute's Racial Wealth Gap Learning Simulation continues to be a popular resource; healthcare company Humana used it in an internal training.

Outreach & Advocacy:International Financial Institutions. Bread for the World Institute staff co-chairs with colleagues at the Center for Global Development and the Bank Information Center a coalition to educate Members of Congress and their staff to build support for the International Financial Institutions (IFIs)/Multilateral Development Banks (the World Bank, the African Development Bank, and the International Fund for Agricultural Development). These institutions provide much needed funding and technical assistance for agriculture, rural development, (To be continued in Schedule O)Outreach & Advocacy:and food security. Through the coalition, the Institute helped engage Treasury and the relevant congressional committees through meetings, briefings, and educational materials. Global Nutrition. Bread for the World Institute completed six briefs on USAID global nutrition funding in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nepal, and Rwanda. Institute staff met with USAID's Global Health Nutrition senior and technical staff to gain a better understanding of how nutrition resources are allocated and tracked. Staff also reviewed data from Global Health Programs funding over several years and reviewed specific projects and activities in each country that addressed nutrition. The nutrition gaps in USAID's global health programming that we discovered in this project will inform our advocacy with USAID. The in-depth analysis will also support our Congressional education and advocacy on global nutrition.

Public Policy:Protected Food Aid. Bread for the World Institute has led a coalition around food aid reform focused on making U.S. international food aid policy efficient, effective, and focused on reaching those who need the aid. Working in partnership with the World Food Program U.S.A., Catholic Relief Services, and ONE, Bread for the World Institute successfully urged the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to drop harmful language in a Defense Authorization amendment that changed non-availability determinations and tonnage requirements for food aid, which would have reduced food aid at this crucial time.(To be continued in Schedule O)Public Policy:WIC and Maternal Mortality. Bread for the World Institute led efforts with Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC) to create report language that was included in the 2021 Agriculture Appropriations Bill to request a study on the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program and maternal mortality rates. This language was included in the FY 21 final bill.
