SUN Civil Society Commitment #4

Guarantee continued cross-sector and cross-country learning generated by CSN members and external experts in the 61 SUN countries. This will translate in: (a) Forming a pool of technical assistance providers from within and outside the network; (b) Setting up member-led communities of practice and organising a series of thematic webinars and events according to the different interests and needs identified; (c) Documenting and amplifying success stories led by members and partners; and (d) Improving collaboration between SUN Networks at country level, including as part of SUN Multi-Stakeholder Platforms.

The SUN Civil Society Network brings over 4,000 civil society organisations working on addressing malnutrition from local to international leves, across sectors, and together with the governement and other technical and financial partners. The breadth of knowledge, expertise and outreach in the network is therefore significant. Through this commitment, the Civil Society Network will document and share best practices with the aim of scaling up promising nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions. Cross-country and cross-regional learning is already happening organically but, by putting in place communities of practice, bringing together technical assistance providers, amplifying best practices and working on improving multi-stakeholder collaboration, this evidence will be more intentionally shared and used to inform decision-making processes.
