GNC-SUN collaboration case studies

The Global Nutrition Cluster, together with the SUN Secretariat, is working on three case studies on the collaboration at the national and sub-national level. This study should identify country-specific humanitarian-development nexus strengthening opportunities through the lens of those in need of immediate, medium- and long-term nutritional assistance, and propose SMART solutions.

The country studies should bring to light what is needed by those directly affected by malnutrition, of those in charge of their protection and well-being, i.e., the state as an ultimate duty bearer. The outcomes and recommendations should be brought to sub-national and national level Nutrition cluster/sector coordination platforms and Multi-Stakeholder Platforms (or equivalents) to strengthen national coordination mechanisms and achieve a stronger and longer-lasting impact.

Country-specific conclusions and recommendations should provide the SUN government focal point and Nutrition Cluster/Sector partners with the information needed to improve the coverage and content of their national nutrition policies, plans, funding and responses to strengthen the nexus and thereby increase the collective efficiency of the nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive actions and results in the country.

The expected products of this work are

• a policy brief;
• a report with the three case studies and recommendations;
• a PowerPoint presentation of key findings and recommendations;
• a summary 1-pager with recommendations;
• a webinar/online meeting with the key findings and recommendations.

The final deliverables are expected by the end of September 2020. The funding for this work was generously granted by USAID/Food for Peace.
