The document discusses the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, which aims to address undernutrition and malnutrition around the world. It notes that while some countries struggle with overeating, others face starvation. The vision of SUN is a world without hunger or malnutrition, where children who receive proper nutrition grow up to be healthy and productive members of society, strengthening their families, communities and countries. The document outlines how SUN brings together United Nations agencies, donors, governments, businesses and civil societies to work at global, national and local levels to address the specific causes of malnutrition through coordinated, multi-sector efforts across areas like agriculture, health, education and social protection. It highlights the participation of over 50 countries in SUN and its principles of transparency
