Expand and strengthen the national coordination mechanism for improved nutrition
Description
The government of Yemen commits to strengthen the transition between humanitarian and development programming across sectors for better nutrition, including increased investment in preparedness and recovery. Led by government authorities, this will be achieved by enhancing coordination between humanitarian and development actors, whilst being sensitive to the local context. This will include:
• Jointly updating, implementing and financing national nutrition plans and policies.
• Implementing jointly agreed coordination and oversight mechanisms, with clearly defined linkages and clear lines of accountability, to bridge the humanitarian–development–peace divide.
• Sectoral ministries, with support of UN agencies and the Nutrition Cluster, developing and strengthening existing national and subnational coordination mechanisms, as well as linking to other platforms and stakeholders, including the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Networks (SUN Business Network, SUN Civil Society Alliances).
• Enhancing the localisation of humanitarian actions between the donors, the UN, international non-governmental organisations, national nongovernmental organisations and the government of Yemen.
Progress will be assessed by the government every two years.
