The Scale Up Nutrition (SUN) collaborative process that began in 2009 with the development of the Scale Up Nutrition Framework, is evolving into a movement that is both stimulated and reinforced by political interest in nutrition among leaders of national governments and development partners alike.
The principles guiding the SUN movement are as follows: (a) SUN efforts are led from countries and external support processes must add value to this country-led action and must be demand-driven; (b) ongoing initiatives to improve nutrition should be linked together for greater coherence, efficiency, and impact, wherever possible; and (c) a combination of networks and movements are needed to enable a range of stakeholders to work together and contribute to lasting results. The following describes the mechanisms that will enable the movement to function in a coordinated and coherent way.
The Road Map for Scaling up Nutrition, (english version, edición española, version française) which was produced between July and September 2010, provides the principles and direction for increased support for countries as they scale up efforts to tackle under-nutrition across a range of sectors. In 2011 the Road Map will be translated into action with a view to helping countries affected by under-nutrition to achieve long-term reduction in under-nutrition and realize the first Millennium Development Goal, and to start demonstrating this impact within three years. More information on the countries that have already indicated their intentions to scale up nutrition will be communicated soon. Different groups of stakeholders are being encouraged to provide support in a coordinated way - working together to support country-led actions.
The support effort is being guided by six inter-linked "Task Forces" under the stewardship of a "Transition Team". The Transition Team is built on the Task Team which produced the Road Map, and the Task Forces have evolved from the Road Map Working Groups. These are the support mechanisms for the SUN Road Map implementation. The Task Forces will work rapidly and in a flexible manner: they will report to the Transition Team, at regularly agreed intervals.
The UNSCN will make information on progress available through a series of communications and announcements throughout the year. Those wishing to participate in the wider discussions of these Task Forces, and receive updates on the SUN movement are invited to e-mail the SCN Secretariat (scn@who.int).
