Measuring Nutrition Governance
Webb, Patrick, Shibani Ghosh, Robin Shrestha, Grace Namirembe, Sabi Gurung, Diplav Sapkota, Winnie Fay Bell, et al. 2016. “Measuring Nutrition Governance.” Food and Nutrition Bulletin 37 (4_suppl): S170–82. doi:10.1177/0379572116674856.
Background: Global commitments to nutrition have supported calls for better evidence to support effective investments at national level. However, too little attention has so far been paid to the role of governance in achieving impacts.
Objective: This article explores the ways by which the commitment and capabilities of policy implementers affect collaborative efforts for achieving nutrition goals.

Pomeroy-Stevens, Amanda, Madhukar B. Shrestha, Monica Biradavolu, Kusum Hachhethu, Robin Houston, Indu Sharma, and Jolene Wun. 2016. “Prioritizing and Funding Nepal’s Multisector Nutrition Plan.” Food and Nutrition Bulletin 37 (4_suppl): S151–69. doi:10.1177/0379572116674555.
Background: Nepal has a long tradition of designing good multisectoral nutrition policy. However, success of policy implementation has varied. More evidence on how to successfully carry out multisector nutrition policy is needed.
Objective: We tracked the influence of Nepal’s multisectoral nutrition plan (MSNP) on the process of priority setting and budgeting from 2014 to 2016.
