Before looking at this preliminary analysis
Content of this document:
To understand which is the CSA intervention strategy related to the LR main learning areas, currently and on the mid term
To find out what expertise we have "in-house" and which are the learning needs of our alliance
Learning Needs priorities
To fin out in the overall how much efforst and resources each Alliance is dedicating to the different macro areas
Knowledge sharing To find out where the CSAs seek information for their planning and which institutions refer to the CSA to get information.
Additional backgound information that will guide the LR and the M&E
The information shared in this document is the result of a preliminary analysis of the Learning Route survey.
The information collected will serve as baseline for the LR in asia and to guide the development of the learning
program for the SUN Civil Society Alliances that applied for the Learning Route. For questions and
clarifications, please write to the SUN CS Learning Route program coordinator:

The advocacy of the Law on fortified flour is the expertise to share. The Law on mandatory fortification of flour was adopted by
the Parliament in 2015, 92 from 96 deputies voted for the Law . The adoption of the Law was reached through informational
campaign among the NGOs and social mobilization at the community level. The members of the CSA met the parliamentarians
and informed them about importance of the mandatory flour fortification. In one year after adoption of the Law fortified flour has
been available throughout the country from capital to district level.

documents, discussion of their participation in the Multi-stakeholder platform.

Lao PDR
Kyrgyz Republic The best practice to share is an advocating of amendments into the Law on Flour Fortification to implement mandatory flour fortification. Representatives from NGOs were trained on nutrition and flour fortification topics, printed materials were distributed. About 17 organisations took part in the advocacy work directly and they engaged their own partners in collecting signatures of people on community level, sent letters to parliamentarians. Members participated in TV talk shows, visited parliamentarians to inform them about importance of flour fortification.
Pakistan Constant engagement with general members of CSA Engagement of media and other like minded coalitions in nutrition advocacy
Cambodia In Cambodia, we found that since the Cambodia SUN CSA has been established in the last few months, the Civil Society has very stronger voice to advocate for nutrition related agenda with the government. In the past, individual NGO advocated for anything they wanted with government. Now, instead of individual NGO approaches to government for advocacy, we come as a team. This is more effective and makes the government listens to us well.
Myanmar Coming together as an MSP has proven difficult in Myanmar, so the CSA has been actively working to increase opportunities for informal engagement and experience sharing with other networks. For example, we meet regularly with the UN Network in Yangon and have begun to schedule meetings with representatives of donor agencies in order to strengthen the Donor Network. We have also created an email list in order to facilitate regular communication with the MSP.
Nepal The national alliance and formation of district chapters to bridge between community and national level. A lobby team within CSAN with experts. Regular coordination with government to recognize the advocacy issues Media engagement is the best means for highlighting the issue in general public and among policy makers. Signatory commitment collection is found effective to generate ownership on issue. Real case collection and video show are found as best means as advocacy tools Regular meetings and sharing of information among CSOs

Cambodia
SUN CSA Laos has only been fully operational late 2014, thus we do not have a lot of lessons or best practices to share. However, we could share our
experiences we had on building momentum from members and government counterparts. How we were able to increase our members, commitment from
our management committee as well as gain acceptance from the government to be involved in many health and nutrition related discussions, events and
meetings.

Asia lr survey for sharing

    Aug-16 Before looking atthis preliminary analysis Content of this document: To understand which is the CSA intervention strategy related to the LR main learning areas, currently and on the mid term To find out what expertise we have "in-house" and which are the learning needs of our alliance Learning Needs priorities To fin out in the overall how much efforst and resources each Alliance is dedicating to the different macro areas Knowledge sharing To find out where the CSAs seek information for their planning and which institutions refer to the CSA to get information. Additional backgound information that will guide the LR and the M&E The information shared in this document is the result of a preliminary analysis of the Learning Route survey. The information collected will serve as baseline for the LR in asia and to guide the development of the learning program for the SUN Civil Society Alliances that applied for the Learning Route.

Representatives from NGOs were trained on nutrition and flour fortification topics, printed materials were distributed. About 17 organisations took part in the advocacy work directly and they engaged their own partners in collecting signatures of people on community level, sent letters to parliamentarians. Members participated in TV talk shows, visited parliamentarians to inform them about importance of flour fortification. Pakistan Constant engagement with general members of CSA Engagement of media and other like minded coalitions in nutrition advocacy Cambodia In Cambodia, we found that since the Cambodia SUN CSA has been established in the last few months, the Civil Society has very stronger voice to advocate for nutrition related agenda with the government. In the past, individual NGO advocated for anything they wanted with government. Now, instead of individual NGO approaches to government for advocacy, we come as a team. This is more effective and makes the government listens to us well.

For example, we meet regularly with the UN Network in Yangon and have begun to schedule meetings with representatives of donor agencies in order to strengthen the Donor Network. We have also created an email list in order to facilitate regular communication with the MSP.
