1) The document discusses stocktaking and potential priorities for the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Community of Practice (COP1) meeting in 2015, based on publications by Action Contre la Faim (ACF) on aid for nutrition. 2) It notes several issues including a lack of alignment between country costed plans, the OECD DAC nutrition code, and SUN definitions of nutrition-specific interventions. Disaggregated data by intervention is also lacking. 3) ACF advocates for longer funding cycles for nutrition-specific interventions like acute malnutrition management, and increasing domestic investment alongside external funding for comprehensive nutrition packages. ACF staff are actively advocating in relevant subgroups.

Sun COP1: ACF
• Tracking of nutrition specific
interventions needs to
improve to minimise
overestimation of aid for
nutrition-specific
interventions
• Lack of alignment between
SUN country costed plans for
direct nutrition interventions,
OECD DAC Basic Nutrition
code and the SUN nutrition-
specific interventions
• Disaggregated data per nutrition-specific
intervention is a major data gap and can be a
feature of a minimum standard of reporting, aid
transparency, effective identification of funding
and intervention gaps and assist advocacy and
policy prioritisation
• OECD Basic Nutrition code includes household
food security, school feeding and research/surveys
• Advocating for, and tracking investments to
increase nutrition capacity in addition to tracking
interventions is important
• Need alignment of domestic and external
definitions and reporting procedures for
nutrition- specific interventions

SUN COP1: ACF
• Minimal funding was invested in
nutrition programmes that
incorporated interventions from all 3
categories of proven direct
interventions (ACF Aid for Nutrition,
2012 and 2013)
• Short-term funding cycles for
nutrition-specific interventions
particularly acute malnutrition
management
• Coordinated donor funding for a
comprehensive minimum package of
nutrition-specific interventions
• ACF will be advocating for longer
external funding cycles for nutrition-
specific interventions, 5 years+
supported by increasing domestic
investment
• ACF has dedicated 3 staff members to
advocacy in this area active in SUN
COP1, ICAN Accountability and
Financing sub-groups
• ACF will be undertaking detailed
tracking of French aid and potentially
UK, Spain, USA and Canada (TBC)
too.

WHO supports countries in evidence-informed policy planning and adaptation of global nutrition targets through various tools and guidelines. They provide resources like policy briefs, country assessments, an e-library of evidence, and a global targets tracking tool to help set realistic national goals. WHO's OneHealth Tool and Health Accounts help countries cost and track expenditures for nutrition interventions and programs. WHO also maintains databases on nutrition actions, growth standards, and lessons learned from various country implementations.

This document discusses making agriculture investments more nutrition sensitive. It provides a 10-point checklist for practitioners to consider nutrition objectives and impacts. The checklist guides assessing local context, targeting vulnerable groups, coordinating across sectors, empowering women, and more. While commitments exist to nutrition-sensitive agriculture, challenges remain around attributing impacts, integrating nutrition into projects, and conducting cost-benefit analyses that capture nutrition benefits. The document calls for further applying the checklist through capacity building and learning activities to strengthen nutrition-sensitive agriculture investments.

Meeting the six World Health Assembly nutrition targets by 2025 will require significant resources to scale up nutrition interventions globally. Estimates indicate the total cost could be tens of billions of dollars annually. Current spending on nutrition is a fraction of what is needed to meet the targets. Various scenarios will be modeled to quantify the resource gaps and identify domestic and external financing pathways that could help close the gaps from public and private sources. The goal is to inform financing discussions and commitments at upcoming nutrition summits and financing for development meetings.

This document summarizes key points from a paper on creating enabling environments to reduce malnutrition. It discusses three vital factors: 1) Framing, generating, and communicating knowledge and evidence through narratives, advocacy, and research on what works and impact. 2) Political economy of actors, ideas, and interests through multisectoral coordination, accountability, civil society engagement, and private sector contributions. 3) Capacity and financing through leadership, systemic capacity, understanding financing needs, prioritization, and scaling up programs. Case studies highlight the need for evidence, coordination across sectors, capacity building, and leveraging multiple resources to turn commitment into impact on nutrition. Leadership is important at all levels to create momentum and scale up effective actions.

This document discusses engaging businesses to improve nutrition in East and Southern Africa. It outlines the following key points: 1. Africa faces a double burden of malnutrition with both undernutrition and overnutrition issues. Food systems are challenged by pressures like urbanization and climate change. 2. There are opportunities for private sector involvement to positively influence food systems and nutrition. Food companies help determine food availability, affordability and quality as consumer demands change. 3. A multi-stakeholder approach is needed, including defining joint accountability between public and private sectors. The private sector can help improve food production, processing, storage and marketing of nutritious foods.

Reorienting Food Systems Towards Healthy Diets in the Context of COVID-19

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

This document discusses strengthening accountability systems to improve nutrition outcomes. It emphasizes setting specific, measurable goals and monitoring policy implementation and food environments, not just individual behaviors and health outcomes. Effective monitoring requires coordinated, comprehensive systems that also assess private sector impacts. Power imbalances need addressing; strengthening civil society and independent accountability can help rebalance power away from food corporations and give governments more support for nutrition policies.

This document describes Tanzania's experience with using different platforms to share knowledge on nutrition issues. It outlines the various government, CSO, donor, and business platforms that facilitate both intra- and cross-platform knowledge sharing. The platforms ensure multisectoral collaboration and allow for planning, implementation, and monitoring of nutrition interventions. They also enable sharing of information, best practices, and research findings to support nutrition programs in Tanzania. Challenges include insufficient priority on nutrition, coordination difficulties, weak information management, and lack of resources, but the platforms provide benefits like communicating nutrition messages and improving program quality.
