What does a good commitment look like??

UHCGovernments integrate WHO'sEssential Nutrition Actions into thepackage of essential health servicesand scale up the coverage through thehealth system

Food SystemsGovernments commit to Food Systems ActionPlans aiming at improved accessibility of safenutritious food through Nationals Food-BasedDietary guidelines, policies and consideringsynergies and trade-offs with livelihoods andenvironment.

ResilienceGovernments enact risk informed, shockresponsive and emergency prepared policies, andaction plans. Clearly define roles andresponsibilities of all stakeholders, including a clearrole for independent humanitarian actors (Nexus)

Data AccountabilityGovernments commit to Havingevidence-based, costed nutrition plans,including data and monitoring andevaluation (M&E) components(comprising 4-6% of total investment)by 2025

Securing New innovative InvestmentsX% increase in domestic spending on essential nutrition actions/high impact interventionsand data systems strengthening, building on existing innovative mechanisms such as ThePower of Nutrition and the Global Financing Facility to leverage domestic/private financingfor scalability and sustainability

N4G must result in cross-sectoral and holistic commitments that embrace all thematic areas proposed by theGovernment of Japan.

They are all pieces to the same puzzle: investing in making nutrition central to food systems and universal healthcoverage is key to build peaceful and prosperous societies on a healthy and resilient planet.

N4G Key Steps (Part 1)

• Regularly convene in-country nutrition stakeholders to discuss N4G in the lead up to the Summit, to achieve a shared understanding of the N4G vision, objectives and commitment process, and how you could leverage the N4G process to advance the national nutrition agenda.

• Bring together key stakeholders across different sectors to jointly reflect on progress and challenges in implementing your national nutrition plan, including by reviewing progress on key targets and indicators (which may include SGDs, WHA Nutrition Targets, previous N4G targets etc.). Identify key areas where further investment and action is needed. This should form the basis for N4G commitments by the government and other stakeholders.

N4G Key Steps (Part 2)

• Mobilize stakeholders around a joint plan to leverage the N4G opportunity and advance your national nutrition goals through SMART commitments. This plan should identify advocacy strategies, key moments, champions and allies to ensure N4G contributes to increased political momentum for nutrition in your country ahead of the Tokyo Summit and beyond.

• Formulate ambitious and SMART commitments that addresses existing bottlenecks, integrates contributions of different sectors and makes a real difference for ending malnutrition.

• Share your plans with the SUN Movement Secretariat for dialogue and support, as needed.Relevant stakeholders may include representatives from the SUN Multi-Stakeholder Platform from across relevant government ministries, SUN Networks (Civil Society, United Nations, Donors and Business), as well as representatives from media, academia, parliamentarians, youth and Nutrition champions, as relevant.
