Optimizing the Multisectoral Nutrition Policy Cycle: A Systems Perspective

Lamstein, Sascha, Amanda Pomeroy-Stevens, Patrick Webb, and Eileen Kennedy. 2016. “Optimizing the Multisectoral Nutrition Policy Cycle.” Food and Nutrition Bulletin 37 (4_suppl): S107–14. doi:10.1177/0379572116675994.

Based on the data collected in Uganda, Nepal, and Ethiopia, the papers included in this supplement fill a critical gap in evidence regarding multisectoral National Nutrition Action Plans. The studies offer new data and new thinking on how and why governance, effective financial decentralization, and improved accountability all matter for nutrition actions in low-income countries. This introductory paper offers an overview of the current state of evidence and thinking on the multisectoral nutrition policy cycle, including how governance and financing support that process.
