Nutrition for Growth (N4G) commitment
Reported progress
Assessment
1. Increase the resource allocation for nutrition and multi-sectoral involvement in the upcoming budgets.
2. Establish new budget lines in the Ministries of Health, Water and Environment, Food and Agriculture (including Fisheries) for nutrition programming.
Due to the current political crisis in Yemen, no progress made in regard to governmental financial allocations for multi-sectoral nutrition. Although, there is progress made in regard to including nutrition activities in the sectors' priorities and action plans. However, the humanitarian actors have increased the nutrition resource allocation in their budgets.
At least half of the individual commitment components are assessed to be off course.
1. Finalize national SUN plan.
2. Establish realistic targets for reducing stunting, wasting, food diversity, and food consumption.
