The Nutrition Accountability Framework (NAF) is the world’s independent and comprehensive platform for registering SMART nutrition commitments and monitoring nutrition action. It has been endorsed by the government of Japan, the SUN Movement, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, USAID and many others. The NAF holds all data on commitments made for the Tokyo Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit 2021 and progress made against them over time, as well as commitments made since that time. In 2024, those who had previously made NAF commitments were invited to report their progress. While the NAF is continuously open for commitment registration, in late 2024, forms will be made available to register new commitments to be considered for the Paris N4G Summit.
The NAF Platform comes with a wealth of guidance and information to support SMART commitment-making by all stakeholders including governments, donors, civil society organisations, international organisations, businesses, researchers and others. It helps inform, shape and inspire strong nutrition commitments through comprehensive methods for qualifying, classifying and reporting on nutrition action, and monitoring how that translates to impact. This is facilitated by enabling transparent and accessible sharing of data, evidence and best practice.
The NAF encourages stakeholders to improve and take more action over time, highlighting successes and providing an equal opportunity for everyone to be recognised for their actions. In doing so, it supports stronger action and accelerates progress—across locations and sectors—in tackling poor diets and malnutrition in all its forms. The NAF Platform is open for stakeholders to register their nutrition commitments at any time. Commitments will be recorded, tracked and publicly shared through the NAF Platform.
