,N4D puts national multisectoral nutrition plans and priorities at the centre of everything that we do. However, national nutrition plans are not ends in themselves. If they are to be financed and implemented, nutrition priorities need to be integrated into sectoral policies, plans and budgets, such as health, agriculture, climate and social protection, as well as into overall national development plans. Nutrition integration is vital for securing the high-level political commitment that is needed to ensure financing, implementation and accountability.

In Yemen, we are supporting the updating of the national Multisectoral Nutrition Action Plan, integrating a Nexus approach to nutrition. In Ethiopia, we are helping national partners in the operationalisation of a Nexus approach in the context of the Seqota Declaration initiative and the National Food and Nutrition Strategy. In Niger, we are discussing the possibility of supporting the updating of the Plan d´Action Multisectoriel. In Vietnam in 2021, we supported the development of the 10-year National Nutrition Strategy.

Through our learning work area, we aim to share experiences of what works well in supporting countries to strengthen and integrate their national nutrition plans for the benefit of other countries. Through our advocacy workstream, we support countries to highlight their nutrition priorities and access financing to support their implementation.

N4D is unifying humanitarian and development efforts through Nutrition Information Systems (NIS)

N4D works with global initiatives such as the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement to help strengthen their impact and accountability at country level. We connect our country work with the global ecosystem, emerging guidance and evidence, and financing.
