The Better Data for Nutrition webinar series draws on SPRING's team of nutrition, agriculture, and behavior change experts to share and discuss tools and solutions to address data gaps and make better use of data for improved nutrition outcomes.
Financing is a key piece of any effort to improve nutrition at scale. In its recently-released Nutrition Strategy, USAID highlights the importance of financial systems, stating that political will for nutrition must be reflected through financial support, both at the national and sub-national level. A number of very robust costing activities have been completed, or are underway, by MQSUN, UNICEF, the World Bank, and others.
Nepal, like other Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) countries, is facing competing demands for time, human resources, and funding within the realm of nutrition programming. The priorities assigned by the international agreements to which Nepal is a signatory (such as SUN, the Millennium Development Goals [MDGs], and others) include a wide array of goals and corresponding targets, many of which are integrated into Nepal's 2013-2017 Multi-Sector Nutrition Plan (MSNP).
Concrete evidence of how to effectively develop, implement, and adapt multisectoral nutrition strategies remains limited. SPRING intends to address this gap by conducting the Pathways to Better Nutrition (PBN) Case Study, a multi-year prospective effort that chronicles the implementation of Nepal’s 2012 Multisectoral Nutrition Plan (MSNP).
This brief is the first in a series of "interim" technical briefs, culminating in a final two-year study report in 2015.
Uganda, like other Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) countries, is facing competing demands for time, human resources, and funding within the realm of nutrition programming. The priorities assigned by the international agreements to which Uganda is a signatory (such as SUN, the Millennium Development Goals [MDGs], and others) include a wide array of goals and corresponding targets, many of which are integrated into Uganda’s nutrition action plan (UNAP).
