FAO/WAGGGS Nutrition Medal

Every October the FAO/WAGGGS Nutrition Medal is awarded to a Girl Guide/Girl Scout group for relevant work to eradicate hunger and malnutrition in the world.  

The award scheme was launched on World Food Day, 1995 to support the WAGGGS triennial theme, Building World Citizenship, and to mark the 50th birthday of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). 

WAGGGS Member Organizations may propose individual or group projects for consideration for the award, which aims to highlight the Movement’s nutrition-related work throughout the world and promote activities to eradicate hunger and malnutrition.
