Operationalize the steering bodies of the National Nutrition Council (NC)
Description
The Government of Burkina Faso, through the Ministry of Health, with the support of all the actors of the multisectoral nutrition platform (sectors with interventions related to nutrition and TFPs), is committed to operationalizing the steering bodies of the National Nutrition Council (CNaN), which are the Permanent Secretariat and the Regional Councils on Nutrition. This will generate more commitment from the authorities and technical and financial partners and mobilize more resources for nutrition. To achieve this, the following actions must be implemented:
• Advocate for the appointment of the permanent secretary of the CNaN and the 13 presidents of the regional nutrition councils
• Define coordination mechanisms at the provincial and municipal levels
• Mobilize resources for the functioning of the CNaN's steering bodies
Progress will be monitored through the adoption of the decree
