The Parliament of Kenya is ready to host delegates from across the globe for a food security and nutrition conference.
Lawmakers and other stakeholders will convene in Nairobi for the Third Global Parliamentary Summit on Hunger and Malnutrition next week.
According to Mandera West Member of Parliament (MP), Adan Yusuf Haji, who is also the Chairperson of the Eastern Africa Parliamentary Alliance on Food Security and Nutrition (EAPA-FSN), this will be the first time the meeting is held on the continent.
“We are happy that the summit will be hosted on African soil and in Kenya, for that matter, for the first time,” expressed Haji during a media breakfast at Parliament Buildings ahead of the summit, scheduled for Monday, November 16, and Tuesday, November 17, 2026.
Notably, Kenya is the third country to host the summit, after Spain in 2018 and Chile in 2023. The meeting is organised by the Parliament of Kenya with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO Kenya) of the United Nations.
At the session attended by journalists covering the Health, Agriculture, Science and Climate Change beats, Haji noted that the platform would provide participants with an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, share experiences, and identify priority areas for parliamentary action in an increasingly complex global context.
