SUN is a unique Movement founded on the principle that all people have a
right to food & good nutrition.
Over 165 million children under 5are stunted as a result of malnutrition.
• 52 million children are too thin and require special treatment.
• At the same time, 43 million children are overweight - some as a result of poverty, when families are unable to afford a balanced, nutritious diet.
• 2 billion people are deficient in key vitamins & minerals
Why nutrition? The facts
Eliminating under-nutrition in young children has multiple benefits. It can:
• Boost gross national product by 11% in Africa and Asia.
• Improve school attainment by at least one year.
• Increase wages by 5-50%.
• Reduce poverty as well-nourished children are 33% more likely to escape poverty as adults.
• Empower women to be 10% more likely to run their own business
A smart investment

The causes of malnutrition are interconnected
Environmental Degradation
Feeding Practices & Behaviors: Encouraging exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months of age and continued breastfeeding together with appropriate and nutritious food up to 2 years of age and beyond
Fortification of foods: Enabling access to nutrients through incorporating them into foods
Micronutrient supplementation:Direct provision of extra nutrients
Treatment of acute malnutrition:Enabling persons with moderate and severe malnutrition to access effective treatment
Agriculture: Making nutritious food more accessible to everyone, and supporting small farms as a source of income for women and families
Clean Water & Sanitation: Improving access to reduce infection and disease
Education & Employment: Making sure children have the nutrition needed to learn and earn a decent income as adults
Health Care: Access to services that enable women & children to be healthy
Support for Resilience: Establishing a stronger, healthier population and sustained prosperity to better endure emergencies and conflicts
Nutrition-Sensitive Strategies Specific Actions for Nutrition
Nutrition-sensitive strategies increase the impact ofspecific actions for nutrition
Across all approaches – enabling equity for women
At the core of all efforts, women are empowered
to be leaders in their families and communities, leading the way to a
healthier and stronger world.
The SUN approach
Country governments lead national efforts to scale up nutrition.
Within each country a SUN Focal Point is identified
The SUN approach
The Focal Point brings people together in a multi-stakeholder platform

Making progress
Creating Political and Operational Platforms, with strong in-country leadership & shared multi-stakeholder spaces where people come together to align their activities & take joint responsibility for scaling up nutrition.
Incorporating Best Practices into National Policiesfor scaling up proven interventions; including the adoption of effective laws & policies
Align Actions Across Sectors around high quality and well-costed country plans, with an agreed results framework and mutual accountability.
Increasing Resources and Monitoring Implementationfor coherent, aligned, effective action and maximum impact.

Within each country, SUN Movement stakeholders are brought together around 4 key processes: progress is reviewed every six weeks
Making progress – examples
Creating Political and Operational Platforms1
GHANAPolitical commitment to fight against hunger and malnutrition has been strengthened when the First Lady of Ghana supported the SUN Movement launch.
KENYAMinister for Public Health and Sanitation, Hon. Beth Mugo officially launched Kenya’s Nutrition Action Plan (2012-2017) at the National SUN Symposium.
Making progress – examples
Incorporating Best Practices into National Policies2
BURKINA FASOInfant and young child feeding is being addressed by the road map for improved nutrition that aligns national programs in key sectors.
HAITIThe nation-wide flagship nutrition program was launched to fight hunger and malnutrition.
Making progress - examples
Aligning Actions Across Sectors3
NEPAL The Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Plan was endorsed by the Cabinet with a common results framework where all ministries have agreed on a set of essential nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions.
UGANDAA Nutrition Action Plan is scaling up multi-sector efforts for a strong nutrition foundation for Uganda’s development.
INDONESIACash transfer programmes to protect poor families are scaling up and are being linked to the delivery of nutrition services.
Making progress - examples
Increasing Resources and Monitoring Implementation4
GUATEMALAThe national Zero Hunger plan was launched with a specific budget line for addressing undernutrition during the 1,000 days between pregnancy and a child’s second birthday.
MALIAll regions of Mali received funding for nutrition in 2012.
TANZANIAThe Ministry of Finance now includes planning and budgeting for nutrition at level of national and local authorities.
Tracking and reporting impact
Establishing targets to measure impact: Countries are encouraged to establish their own targets for nutrition goals in the following areas:• Universal access to affordable nutritious food, clean water, sanitation, healthcare and
social protection • Increased adoption of practices that contribute to good nutrition (such as exclusive
breastfeeding in the first six months of life)• Optimal growth of children, demonstrated as reduced levels of stunting (low height for
age) and wasting (low weight for height) • Improved micronutrient status, especially in women and children, demonstrated as
reduced levels of micronutrient deficiency
Annual SUN Movement Progress Report: Released in September each year by the SUN Movement Secretariat, the report provides updates on progress in achieving the Movement’s goals and strategic objectives.
Supporting global impact
Together, countries and supporting stakeholders are collectively working to reach the global targets set out by the
World Health Assembly 2012 Resolution:
Reducing and maintaining childhood wasting to less than 5%
Target 1:
Target 2:
Target 3:
Target 4:
Target 5:
Target 6:
40% reduction of the global number of children under 5 who are stunted
50% reduction of anemia in women of reproductive age
30% reduction of low birth weight
No increase in childhood overweight
Increase exclusive breastfeeding rates in the first 6 months up to at least 50%
to learn and adapt through regular sharing of the relevant critical lessons, what works and what does not, across sectors, countries and stakeholders.
SUN principles of engagementBe transparent about impact:
all stakeholders to transparently and honestly demonstrate the impact of collective action.
through open multi-stakeholder partnerships that bring proven solutions and interventions to scale.
Be inclusive:
act in line with a commitment to uphold the equity and rights of all women, men and their children.Be rights-based:
Be willing to negotiate:
when conflicts arise, as can be expected with diverse partners working together, hold the intention to resolve conflicts and reach a way forward.
Be mutuallyaccountable:
act so all stakeholders feel responsible for and are held collectively accountable to the joint commitments.
Be cost effective: establish priorities on evidenced-based analysis of what will have the greatest and most sustainable impact for the least cost.
Be continuouslycommunicative:
The SUN Movement evolves.

The way forward.
SUN Framework for Action is developed & endorsed by over 100 global entities – establishing the foundation for the Movement.
SUN builds momentum and commitment for scaling up nutrition – 19 countries join the Movement.
The Movement grows to 33 countries & a high-level group of 27 international leaders are appointed to the SUN Lead Group & endorse the SUN Movement Strategy for 2012-2015
In 2013, SUN will focus on mobilizing resources behind national movements, to achieve measurable progress & impact.
The SUN Movement is growing in numbers & strength
100+ global stakeholders are providing support to 55 countries with the opportunity to reach over 82.8 million stunted children
