Financing the sector's nutrition action plans up to at least 70%

Senegal, through the Ministries of Finance and Planning, the 14 departments supporting the 20 sectors contributing to the achievement of the objectives of the Multisectoral Strategic Plan for Nutrition (PSMN), as well as the Executive Secretariat of the National Council of Nutrition Development (CNDN) and the Scaling Up Nutrition networks (civil society, donors, the UN system, the private sector, academics, local authorities) are committed to ensuring at least 70% of the financing of the Nutrition Sector Action Plans. The commitment will be achieved through the mobilisation of resources in the sectors’ annual budgets and the allocation of a specific budget to ensure the availability of the nutritional inputs necessary for the prevention and management of malnutrition. A functional nutrition budget monitoring system (nutrition expenditure tagging) across all sectors will be established. Progress on the commitment will be measured annually through the initial and amending finance laws and from the annual reviews of the PSMN and the sectors in order to assess the level of satisfaction with the commitment and to take appropriate action according to the level of satisfaction.
