# 2022 As The Year Of Nutrition

Aspiration one (1) of the Agenda 2063 envisions a prosperous Africa based on inclusive growth and sustainable development with goal three (3) highlighting the importance of healthy and well-nourished citizens. Agenda 2063 further recognises human capital development as critical to delivering the African Union’s vision of an integrated, prosperous and peaceful continent; as an investment in humans leads to improved lives for individuals, higher earnings and improved incomes for countries.

It is against this background that the AU declared **2022 as the Year of Nutrition** under the theme “Strengthening Resilience in Nutrition and Food Security on the African Continent: Strengthening Agro-Food Systems, Health and Social Protection Systems for the Acceleration of Human, Social and Economic Capital Development”.
