Changing pattern of malnutrition in Ethiopia and lessons learntTogetherForNutrition
Changing patterns of malnutrition in Ethiopia and lessons learned. Stunting, wasting, and underweight rates in children under 5 have declined significantly from 2000 to 2014 due to decisive government commitment and leadership. Key factors contributing to improvements include strengthened primary health care and nutrition-specific interventions, expanded agriculture and education services, social protection policies, and mainstreaming nutrition across sectors. However, challenges remain regarding equity, evidence-based policymaking, information systems, resources, and emerging issues like overweight and obesity.
1) Ethiopia has experienced one of the fastest reductions in child stunting in the world between 2000-2011, with rates falling from 57.4% to 44.2%.
2) This progress is attributed mainly to improvements in birth sizes and maternal nutrition, driven by a reduction in open defecation from over 90% to 46% through community-led sanitation efforts.
3) While undernutrition remains a major problem, Ethiopia's success provides lessons for other countries, including the importance of economic growth, community health workers, and women's education, though more remains to be done.
A Sub-National Food Security Index for Ethiopia: Assessing Progress in Region...essp2
This document summarizes the findings of a study that developed a Sub-National Food Security Index for Ethiopia using data from 1999-2000 and 2004-2005 household surveys. The index equally weights undernourishment rates, prevalence of underweight children, and child mortality rates. The results show improvements in all regions between 2000-2005, with the largest improvements in Afar and SNNPR regions. Both rural and urban areas saw significant decreases in undernourishment rates. Overall, the analysis finds progress but that food insecurity remains a serious problem in many regions of Ethiopia.
An examination of the dynamics of nutrition program implementation in Ethiopi...TogetherForNutrition
1) The study assessed facilitators and constraints to implementing Ethiopia's National Nutrition Program (NNP) at national and sub-national levels. It found that while the NNP design considered multi-sector involvement, implementation faced challenges with leadership, capacity, awareness, coordination, and budget constraints, especially at sub-national levels.
2) Key challenges included lack of nutrition focal points in non-health sectors, limited awareness outside health sectors, and minimal sub-national coordination. Budget limitations were also a constraint.
3) Recommendations included establishing high-level multi-sectoral coordination led by the Prime Minister's office, capacity building, and designating nutrition focal points in all sectors. Increased awareness,
Delegations from 9 SUN Civil Society Alliances participated in a learning route in Rwanda from October 31st to November 5th, 2016.

1) The document proposes an innovation plan to improve nutrition in Nigeria through developing and implementing a multi-sectoral national action plan.
2) The plan aims to facilitate the development of a National Action Plan for nutrition by June 2017.
3) Key strategic actions include engaging a consultant to draft the plan, facilitating review meetings, approving the final draft, launching and disseminating the plan nationwide, and conducting follow-up and evaluation.
Civil society plays a pivotal role in scaling up nutrition efforts through SUN Civil Society Alliances (CSAs). CSAs unite civil society groups to advocate and act on nutrition, coordinate with governments, and hold them accountable. They contribute expertise to strengthen policies, programs, and plans. However, over half of CSAs' funding from the SUN Multi-Partner Trust Fund is ending, jeopardizing investments and momentum. Civil society brings many benefits, including speaking with one voice, raising nutrition's profile, enriching policies, highlighting gender needs, building local capacity, and promoting long-term, sustainable efforts. With continued funding, CSAs can sustain progress and ensure no one is left behind in global efforts to end malnutrition.
Sun movement in indonesia brussels nutrition seminarSUN_Movement
Indonesia has high levels of malnutrition compared to other Southeast Asian countries. Stunting affects over 30% of children in every province. Causes include poor infant and young child feeding practices and sanitation issues. To address this, Indonesia launched a Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement in 2013. The movement aims to coordinate cross-sectoral nutrition actions and bring various stakeholders together under new leadership structures. It also develops policies and guidelines, advocates for nutrition, and monitors progress using national surveys and routine community data. Critical components for success include strong leadership, coordination, funding, capacity building, and ensuring nutrition is part of development plans.
Civil society organizations have played an important role in scaling up nutrition efforts in many countries. Through continued support, over 2500 civil society organizations across 39 countries have been engaged in nutrition efforts in 2016, up from under 500 in 2013. National civil society alliances have united community groups, coordinated advocacy and action on nutrition, enriched nutrition policies, ensured accountability, and supported multi-sectoral government efforts for nutrition. Modest funding for civil society alliances has achieved real impact, such as mobilizing additional national resources and cultivating high-profile nutrition champions. Civil society brings unique contributions as the "eyes and ears" implementing programs and sharing local expertise.
This document outlines an innovation plan to strengthen food and nutrition security committees in two provinces of Zimbabwe.

This document discusses monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL) for nutrition advocacy efforts. It outlines why MEAL is important to monitor progress towards objectives, evaluate impact, ensure accountability, and support learning. Key points include developing a theory of change, using participatory and sustainable MEAL systems, and tools to record and share results and changes achieved. Examples are given of capacity building with local NGOs leading to increased access to justice and changes in policies and behaviors. The document promotes peer-to-peer support for MEAL through a new database and working group.
1. Effective monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL) systems for civil society alliances can help ensure impact, sustainability, learning and accountability. MEAL of advocacy and policy work requires identifying changes in attitudes, discourse, procedures, policies and behaviors.
2. Key elements of MEAL systems include developing a theory of change, selecting appropriate methodologies, maintaining organized data records, budgeting for MEAL, and using the SUN MEAL database and website to share results. Nutrition advocacy outcomes can be measured by changes in planning, resources, funding, accountability and civil society strength.
3. Measuring advocacy requires mapping stakeholders, assessing starting knowledge/views/actions and desired changes, identifying tactics, and

1) Acute malnutrition is a major global problem affecting 50 million children under five annually and contributing to nearly 50% of under-five deaths, yet current treatment strategies only reach 20% of affected children.
2) The document calls on world leaders to transform the acute malnutrition treatment system to make it more effective, efficient and accessible in order to save millions of lives.
3) It recommends that the upcoming UN Global Action Plan on Wasting include commitments to simplifying and unifying the treatment approach, developing a time-bound plan to change to a single treatment system led by the UN, and securing financing to achieve global targets for reducing wasting.
The document summarizes the proceedings of the Asia Regional Coordination Group meeting in Siem Reap, Cambodia on September 18, 2019. The group pledged solidarity to end hunger and malnutrition in line with SUN Movement principles and international human rights. They called on global and country leaders to address malnutrition through developing nutrition plans, establishing multi-sectoral platforms, allocating financial resources, promoting health systems and nutrition education. The group also called for commitments at the 2020 Nutrition for Growth Summit to achieve global nutrition goals and targets.
New Guidance on inappropriate Promotion of Foods for infants and young Childr...SUN Civil Society Network
The document discusses new WHO guidance on ending the inappropriate promotion of foods for infants and young children. Research presented found widespread cross-promotion of breastmilk substitutes and commercial complementary foods. The guidance provides seven recommendations to ensure optimal infant and young child feeding practices and protect breastfeeding by regulating the marketing of these products.
The document provides information on nutrition stakeholder and action mapping conducted in Rwanda, including:
- An overview of what nutrition stakeholder and action mapping is and its objectives to better understand who is working in nutrition, where, and how many people they are reaching.
- Results from mappings conducted in 2012 and 2015 that identified stakeholders, their coverage areas, interventions conducted, and beneficiaries reached to help inform scale-up.
- Information on how the mappings can help various groups including government, districts, organizations, and donors to enhance coordination and identify gaps.
The document summarizes the process, achievements, and challenges of Rwanda's 2012 nutrition stakeholder and action mapping. Over five months, stakeholders were identified and the activities they undertake to address 21 selected Core Nutrition Actions were mapped. This was the first such mapping produced in Rwanda. It helped identify gaps, engage more stakeholders, and inform national nutrition policies and strategic planning. Challenges included sensitizing all stakeholders, deciding which interventions to include, collecting timely partner information, and reviewing the analysis as new partners joined.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

According to the NDHS (2013), 37 percent children under 5 are chronically malnourished (stunted), 18 percent of children under five suffer from acute malnutrition (wasted) and 29 percent of children under five (percent) are underweight. 17 percent of children less than 6 months are exclusively breastfed and complementary foods are not introduced in a timely fashion for all children as only 67 percent of breastfed children aged 6-23 months receive complementary foods. Overall, only 10 percent of children age 6-23 months are fed appropriately based on recommended infant and young child feeding practices.
Nigeria has the highest number of stunted children in the continent and ranks second globally with about 11 million stunted children.
Key interventions: In 1990, the Federal Government established a National Committee on Food and Nutrition (NCFN)as an institutional arrangement to coordinate and provide leadership to articulate a comprehensive policy and actions that could effectively reduce malnutrition in Nigeria.
The NCFN formulated a National Food and Nutrition Policy (NFNP) in 1995 which the FG approved in 1998 and launched in 2002.
The FG also launched the Home Grown school feeding and Health programme in 2005 under the coordination of FMOE
