This document discusses making breastfeeding more compatible with work by creating breastfeeding-friendly work environments. It notes that over 1 billion women work worldwide, including 115 million in Africa, but many workplaces are not supportive of breastfeeding. The document outlines benefits to employees, employers, governments, and society from establishing workplace lactation programs that provide space and time for breastfeeding or milk expression. It provides positive examples from programs in Vietnam that extended maternity leave and provided lactation rooms, finding increased rates of breastfeeding. The document calls for governments to establish supportive policies, and employers and employees to establish breastfeeding-friendly practices and spaces in the workplace.
Knowledge sharing is important but not always straightforward as there are many types of knowledge and information to consider sharing, such as reports, strategies, personal experiences, and more. When determining what knowledge to share, it is important to think about what information is available, who needs it, how it can best be shared either formally or informally, and why all information is not always disseminated, as certain information may be less likely to be shared than others. Organizations also differ in their approaches to knowledge sharing.

2) Africa has the highest numbers of stunted children, with Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Burkina Faso having the most survey responses on knowledge management.
3) Bangladesh, despite having a high number of stunted children, received the most attention from knowledge management providers in Asia, with 9 providers focusing on the country.
Scaling Up Nutrition - European Development Days 2016SUN_Movement
The SUN Movement was founded in 2010 to promote good nutrition. It brings together governments, organizations, UN agencies, donors, businesses and researchers to support national nutrition plans. 57 countries have committed to the SUN Movement. The document discusses linking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) with nutrition through policies, budgets, implementation and evidence generation. There are consensus areas but also challenges around joint policymaking, fostering collaboration across levels of government, quantifying cost efficiencies, conducting large-scale research, and incentivizing multi-sector work.

UN Network Guidance Package on the Nutrition Inventory and UN Nutrition Strat...SUN_Movement
The document provides guidance for UN Networks for SUN at the country level to strengthen their support for national nutrition goals. It recommends six actions for UN Networks, including developing a UN Nutrition Inventory and Common UN Nutrition Strategy/Agenda. These deliverables would help articulate UN nutrition objectives, formulate a relevant strategy, and identify opportunities for collaboration. The guidance includes an introduction, background on the UN Network for SUN, and templates/tools to help country networks complete the inventory and strategy.
The document discusses a presentation from Alive & Thrive on innovations in social and behavior change communication for nutrition. Alive & Thrive aims to scale up nutrition programs to improve health outcomes. The presentation outlines three lessons for designing effective behavior change interventions: 1) Use evidence-based processes and principles from fields like behavioral science; 2) Use data to identify priority nutritional behaviors to target; and 3) Use data and behavior change theories to identify factors ("drivers") that influence those behaviors, such as rational or emotional motivations. Examples from various countries demonstrate how materials applied these lessons to promote behaviors like exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding.
Reducing stunting globally by 40% would cost an additional $8.50 per child under 5 annually, totaling $42 billion. A package of interventions like improving nutrition for pregnant women, supplementation, breastfeeding promotion, and complementary feeding could achieve this target. Additional financing is needed for 37 high burden countries over 10 years, as current approaches will not meet resource needs. "Global Solidarity" generating resources from all countries proportionate to their means could fund reaching the stunting reduction goal.
1) Ghana's Parliamentarians Against Hunger and Malnutrition Caucus plays an important role in advancing nutrition in Ghana through advocacy, lobbying, and sensitization.
2) The Caucus lobbies for increased budget allocations for nutrition and collaborates with civil society to raise the profile of nutrition issues.
3) It educates parliamentarians and the public on key nutrition problems in Ghana through publications, media engagements, and fact sheets to support evidence-based advocacy and policymaking.
UN Global Nutrition Agenda PresentationSUN_Movement
The UN Global Nutrition Agenda (UNGNA v. 1.0) aims to clarify the role of the UN system in addressing global and country-level nutrition goals. It provides guidance for coordinated UN action given changing policies, agency mandates, and country needs. The UNGNA was developed through consultations and aims to catalyze collective UN support for countries' nutrition efforts. It outlines three strategic outcomes, 14 specific goals, and accountability measures to increase collaboration and alignment across UN agencies in supporting national nutrition priorities.
The document discusses reducing stunting in children under 5 globally by 40% by 2025. It estimates it will cost an additional $8.50 per child per year, totaling $49.6 billion over 10 years, to implement proven nutrition interventions during pregnancy and a child's first 1000 days. While investing in reducing stunting has an economic return of $18 for every $1 spent, current funding falls far short of what is needed. The document proposes a "Global Solidarity" scenario where governments increase domestic spending along with support from donors and innovative financing to close the funding gap and meet the global stunting target.
The document discusses a food security analysis of Yemen conducted in June 2015 using the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) methodology. The analysis found that:
- Many areas of Yemen were experiencing acute food insecurity.
- Millions of Yemenis were food insecure due to the conflict, economic crisis, and other factors.
- The food insecure populations had a range of socioeconomic characteristics.
The IPC approach provided an evidence-based classification of food security conditions and priorities for response in different governorates of Yemen. Governorates were classified into phases of food insecurity severity from Minimal to Famine based on the latest assessments and reports.
