Concern alongside its Alliance2015 partners seek to strengthen the EU's commitment to nutrition - engaging with coalitions working on hunger/nutrition including “Generation Nutrition” - a group of NGOs active in food and nutrition security. GN will host a high level event in the European Parliament in December. Given her longstanding advocacy in support of the fight against hunger we invited Ms MacGuinness to co-host this event.
