MMS Join Challenge Statement

MMS Joint Challenge Commitment Statement

March 27, 2025

We, the undersigned philanthropic organizations, are committed to scaling prenatal multivitamins – known as Multiple Micronutrient Supplements – to improve maternal and child nutrition in countries with a high burden of malnutrition. 

Today in Paris at the Nutrition For Growth Summit, we are announcing a joint challenge commitment to mobilize $1 billion by the UN General Assembly in September 2025.

In May 2024, we published a global investment roadmap to provide 260 million pregnant women with MMS by 2030. At a cost of $1 billion, we could reach 260 million women and:

  • Save 600,000 lives by 2030.
  • Prevent 5.3 million vulnerable births, including stillbirths and low birth weight.
  • Reduce 15 million cases of maternal anemia, giving mothers the strength to safely carry pregnancies.

Together, we are pledging $250 million towards that challenge and calling on governments and other public and private donors to join us to raise $1 billion for the scale-up of MMS, catalyzing transformative action for mothers and children around the world.
