This checklist for good national nutrition plans is the first of its kind. It was launched in 2016 by the UN Network for SUN and the SUN Movement Secretariat.
There is a strong consensus that harmonised support to national processes is a prerequisite for sustainable development. However, no standards or guidance has been made available to define what constitutes quality nutrition plans. Therefore leading to the development of this checklist. Designed for policymakers, based in national planning bodies and line ministries, nutrition stakeholders involved in planning processes, as well as independent reviewers. This checklist aims to assist the systematic review of existing multi-sectoral nutrition plans and other nutrition-related sectoral planning documents. In parallel, it serves as a complementary guiding tool in the development of new plans.
The checklist has been shared with the 57 SUN Countries – especially those that are embarking on new planning cycles. Additional inputs will be included in a second iteration of the Checklist planned for the end of 2018.
At it’s extreme, nutrition can be a matter of life and death. The first 1,000 days – from pregnancy to the second birthday – is a pivotal moment that determines a child’s destiny.
Good nutrition builds strong immune systems, supercharging children’s chances of survival and protecting them their whole lives.
This is why we come together as a movement, to take action, to scale up what works, to encourage leadership and to ensure that nutrition reaches and remains a top priority.
We cannot do this alone. Our SUN Countries are at the forefront with stakeholders from all areas marching behind. Together, we can end malnutrition in all its forms.
This ‘lessons learnt’ report summarises the experiences of civil society organisations working in nutrition. Therefore discovering effective ways to build partnerships and coalitions with government bodies and other organisations working towards shared goals.
Developed through a consultative process with SUN CSN members, this guidance sets out good practice in establishing the governance of civil society alliances in a way that ensures transparency, accountability, effectiveness, responsiveness, and participation, while clearly defining roles and responsibilities.
The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, launched in 2010, has inspired a new way of working collaboratively to end malnutrition in all its forms. Led by countries and additional stakeholders, it has mobilized an unprecedented political will to improve nutritional status’ of everyone, everywhere.
This Strategy and its accompanying Road Map (2016-2020) underscores that there are few challenges facing the global community today that match the scale of malnutrition, a condition that directly affects one in three people. There has been some progress, but much more needs to be done.
The SUN Movement has brought together governments, United Nations agencies, businesses, donors, civil society organizations and individuals in a collective mission to uphold the right to good food and nutrition. It has also helped to illuminate the importance of nutrition in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Based on a number of requests for support in resolving conflicts within CSAs in countries, the SUN CSN developed a process for conflict resolution between national SUN CSAs.
This guidance note is intended to assist Civil Society Organisations, who are working to tackle malnutrition, to come together at a country level in an organised Civil Society Alliance (CSA) under the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement, therefore fully embracing the SUN principles of engagement. Such a CSA can be a new entity or based on existing relevant civil society networks or coalitions. This note will provide a road map towards establishing and/or strengthening a SUN CSA. The guidance provided in this document is based on SUN movement experiences and learnings so far.
