Introduction
This page provides guidance for filling out the nutrition commitment progress tracking form. The information here is also available as a PDF in English, French, and Spanish at the bottom of this page. It consists of introductory pages, followed by up to 12 sections:
- Pages 1–4 display contact and commitment information, such as the baseline value of the indicator used to measure progress, as provided by your organisation at the time of registration or at verification. This is intended to help you identify the commitment goal(s) for which progress reporting is requested.
- Sections 1–4 are used to obtain key information on the progress made for each registered goal, including the updated (since baseline) level of the indicator. Section 3 is for a non-financial goal and section 5 for a financial goal. These sections are instrumental to assess progress.
- Sections 5–8 allow you to share information about why or when an assessment has/has not been made, other tracking/accountability mechanisms under which you might report progress on this goal, or potential dimensions of equity relevant to the goal.
- Sections 9–10 seek information on potential barriers to and opportunities for accelerating progress, which will be invaluable for sharing learnings and highlighting achievements.
- Sections 11–12 allow you to provide any other information that is relevant to progress made (or not made) towards your goal and, if the goal has been concluded, to share the next steps you are considering.
This guide provides detailed instructions and clarifications for each question included in the form. For any questions that are not covered by this guide, please contact the Global Nutrition Report (GNR) at [email protected].
The below information is embedded in the online form which you must complete to report progress. For efficiency, we have also made the form available offline for those interested in familiarising themselves with the process before logging into the Nutrition Accountability Framework (NAF) to report on the progress of their commitment(s). Specifically, we have created a downloadable copy of the Commitment Progress Tracking Survey Form, should you wish to draft responses before you submit online.
General instructions
- This page includes important information for you as a commitment-maker. We recommend that you review the instructions, which are also embedded in the Commitment Progress Tracking Survey Form. Progress toward achieving the commitment is reported regularly, until the commitment has been fully delivered. The GNR team will communicate when you are requested to report on the progress of your commitment.
- This document is intended to guide you in reporting the progress towards the commitment you registered through the NAF. It outlines the questions to which you will respond online, so that you may familiarise yourselves with those questions prior to responding to them online.
- It may be useful to have a copy of this document next to you as you complete the form online. Please note that the progress reporting of your commitment is valid only if you complete and submit the online Commitment Progress Tracking Survey Form. You will receive a notification upon submission of the Commitment Progress Tracking Survey Form. The GNR advises you to complete the online survey in one sitting, as the form may not save while in progress.
- An asterisk (*) indicates that a response is required for that question. However, if the question is hidden (online) or you were instructed to skip it (PDF) because it is not relevant, you would skip it.
- Though we are providing instructions in other languages, if possible, the online form should be completed in English. This will allow you to maintain ownership over how the information is translated. If that is not possible, the GNR will use software to translate your commitment and cannot be responsible for translation accuracy.
- Progress should be reported separately for each registered commitment and its individual goals. For example, if your commitment has three goals, then progress needs to be separately reported for each of these goals. The form includes fields with previously submitted information to support progress reporting. This could include, for example, the baseline value of the indicator. Any such displayed information cannot be edited.
- Reported progress will be assessed using a comprehensive methodology, based on the previously used Nutrition for Growth (N4G) tracker methodology. Information provided during progress reporting, including the assessment performed by the GNR, will be made publicly available through the NAF Commitment Tracker.

Section 2. State of assessment for goal
This section aims to capture whether the indicator has been assessed since baseline, and whether it corresponds to a financial commitment.
The below sections appears to all.
ITEM DETAILS
* 2.1. Please report whether the indicator used to measure progress has been measured since baseline or not.
Have you assessed the indicator since baseline?
☐ Yes (move to 2.2) ☐ No (move to section 5)
* 2.2. If the indicator corresponds to a financial commitment or expenditure, please select “yes” and you will be directed to section 4.
Does the indicator correspond to a financial commitment? For example, US$100 million committed to addressing micronutrient deficiency, or 5% increase in disbursements/expenditure since baseline.
☐ Yes (move to section 4) ☐ No (move to section 3)
Section 3. Updated/latest level or status of the indicator for non-financial goal
This section allows you to report the updated level of the indicator for a non-financial goal. If your goal is financial, this section does not apply to you.
Please report the most recent level or status of the indicator listed in section 2 above. Please ensure that the unit of your latest level/status is the same as your baseline and target level/status in section 1 above. For example, if the unit for your baseline and target levels is a percentage (%), then your latest level should also be reported as a percentage.
If the indicator captures an action (e.g. ‘establishment of a national nutrition committee,’ ‘Implementation of previously established policy on food supply chain’), then the updated value should report whether the action was carried out (yes/no).
ITEM DETAILS
* 3.1. Updated/latest level/status of the indicator (using the same name and unit as the baseline).
_________________________________________________
* 3.2. Month and year the indicator was assessed, providing this updated/latest level/status.
Month (MM) ____________ Year (YYYY)__________
Section 4. Updated/latest level of the indicator for financial goal
This section allows you to report the updated level of the indicator for financial goals, to specify (1) whether funds were allocated, (2) whether funds were disbursed (i.e. actually expended), and to specify whether for nutrition-specific or nutrition-sensitive actions.
In all cases, please ensure that the unit of your updated level is the same as your baseline and target levels listed above. For example, if the unit for your baseline and target levels is US$, then your updated level should also be reported in US$.
Key definitions
Allocations/commitments: Total amount allocated since you made the commitment, corresponding to the sum of both the nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive allocations made.
Disbursements/actual expenditures: Total amount disbursed/spent since you made the commitment, corresponding to the sum of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive disbursements or expenditures made.
Nutrition-specific actions address the immediate determinants of malnutrition, such as food and nutrient intake (e.g. micronutrient supplementation, food fortification), feeding (including breastfeeding), caregiving and parenting practices, and burden of disease.
Nutrition-sensitive actions address the underlying determinants of malnutrition, such as food security, including access to and availability of nutritious foods (e.g. through agriculture, social protection, or food assistance); access to care resources (e.g. in the household, through health services); access to education and equity; and access to improved water, hygiene, and sanitation. They should also be aimed at individuals, include nutrition as a significant objective or indicator, and contribute to a nutrition-sensitive outcome.
ITEM DETAILS
