Social Protection for Nutrition: Way forward from the Global Task Force

This brief presents key outcomes from the Cross-Country Learning and Knowledge Exchange on Nutrition-Sensitive Social Protection, convened in Islamabad by the Global Task Force on Social Protection for Nutrition (GTF) and hosted by the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), Government of Pakistan and Government of Timor-Leste with facilitation from the World Food Programme (WFP). The South‑South learning exchange served as a dialogue among countries committed to integrating nutrition outcomes into social protection systems. It built on the momentum of the Second World Summit for Social Development held in Doha on 4-6 November 2025 reinforcing the leadership of the Global South in shaping the nutrition-sensitive social protection agenda.
