This document discusses building multisectoral nutrition systems in Africa through the African Nutrition Security Partnership (ANSP). It provides an overview of ANSP's objectives to reduce stunting through policy development, capacity building, information systems, and scaling up interventions. It then discusses conceptualizing multisectoral nutrition as a complex system and presents tools and strategies for building functional multisectoral nutrition structures, including sensitizing concepts, knowledge brokering, and lessons learned across countries.

Lessons learned - implementing an Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination System (EPaCCS)
Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination Systems (EPaCCS) provide a means of recording and communicating key information about people's wishes and preferences for end of life care. The ultimate aim is to improve co-ordination of care so that end of life care wishes can be met at the point of care, and more people are able to die in the place of their choosing and with their preferred care package.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

3. Objectives
1. Brief overview and rationale for the
Africa Nutrition Security Partnership (ANSP)
2. Multisectoral Nutrition as a System
3. Tools, Strategies and Capacities for Building the System
4. Emerging Lessons
4. Multisectoral Nutrition:
The Basic Storyline
1. Government decides nutrition
is important, a multisectoral
approach is appropriate and
drafts a national plan
2. A multisectoral coordinating structure
is created at national level and sub-nat’l
levels, with focal points from all relevant
sectors
3. Focal points and their sectors,
identify nutrition-specific and
nutrition-sensitive interventions
4. The interventions are costed
and resources are mobilized
from govt and partners
5.Interventions are implemented
by each sector and coordinated
by coordinating/governance
structures at sub-national levels
6.The national and sub-national
governance structures exercise overall
monitoring and oversight, while sectors
apply M&E to their own interventions
7. IMPACT ON NUTRITION
5. Governance of Multisectoral Nutrition: Three Perspectives

7. African Nutrition Security Partnership
• UNICEF/EU, 4 year project
• Objective: Reduce stunting by:
promoting, developing and
adopting a multisectoral
approach through:
1. Up-stream policy
development and nutrition
security awareness
2. Institutional development &
capacity building
3. Develop useful information
systems and data analysis
4. Scale-up multisectoral
interventions
ANSP
9. “this is all new and we are learning as we go”
ANSP
10. Cornell Roles Within ANSP
1. Build on experiences from other countries (strategic capacity and
adaptive management)
2. Facilitate co-learning and co-building of the multisectoral nutrition
systems with partners:
– Bring an “insider/outsider” perspective
– Bring a ‘systems lens’ to multisectoral nutrition
– Play multiple roles as boundary-crossing agent, knowledge broker,
alliance broker, learning/reflection facilitator, etc.
3. Document lessons and experiences for external audiences:
– Country efforts to operationalize multisectoral nutrition
– Experience working in/with complexity adaptive systems
ANSP
11. Some Key Methods
• Tools: devices that help stakeholders solve a problem or
perform a task
• Sensitizing Concept: an idea presented in a way that is
simple, resonates with experience, memorable and stimulates
thinking and action in a productive direction
• Knowledge brokering: facilitating the exchange of knowledge
(global, cross-national and contextual) among stakeholders in
the system

7. Horizontal sharing Knowledge brokering
40. Emergent Lessons
1. Most nutrition programming in the past has involved implementing
interventions within existing delivery systems
2. MSN includes this but also requires new structures, functions,
interventions and capacities at the organizational and whole system level
3. Building, facilitating and sustaining these requires strategic (or
functional) capacity - a set of actors at national level with an eye on the
big picture and able to work strategically and effectively across sectors,
administrative levels and stakeholder groups
4. Cascading these new structures, functions, interventions and capacities
to lower levels (with high quality) requires an implementation team (full-
time staff) - to develop guidelines, ToRs, reporting templates, etc. and to
orient, train, support and track the work at lower levels
5. Learning Platforms at each level are important for systematizing and
institutionalizing the “learning and adjusting as we go”
