8 September 2026 – The 7th Micronutrient Forum (MNF) Global Conference, themed “Nutrition at the Frontiers of a Changing Environment,” will take place in Accra, Ghana, and online, from 28 September to 1 October 2026. Expected to attract around 1,500 participants from across nutrition, health, agriculture, climate, and development sectors, the conference will provide a key platform to discuss nutrition solutions in the face of climate change, funding constraints, and humanitarian challenges.
Maternal nutrition and multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) will feature prominently, with five dedicated sessions exploring the latest evidence, implementation experiences, and opportunities to scale impact. Bringing together researchers, policymakers, implementers, and donors, these discussions will help advance efforts to strengthen health systems, expand access to MMS, and improve nutrition outcomes for women and newborns.
