The goal of this project is to help address the underlying causes of under-nutrition by identifying best practices and successful strategies for improving nutrition through development programming in other sectors. The project provides support for the United Nations Standing Committee on Nutrition to review and map all development programs, initiatives, and activities that integrate nutrition. This includes programs, initiatives, and activities undertaken by United Nations institutions, academia, donors, and other stakeholders. By documenting what has been successful to date and identifying key nutrition indicators and outcomes, the project aims to fill a gap in the global knowledge base on nutrition-sensitive development. Donors and developing countries can then use the improved knowledge base to make better nutrition policy and plan more effective nutrition programming across different sectors, such as agriculture and food security, public health, and education.
