While most of the country’s efforts are currently focused on delivering an effective emergency response, Mali has also been working hard to establish its multi-sectoral nutrition policy – the National Policy of Nutrition, which was adopted by the government on 2 January 2013. The policy sets out a coordination process for implementation and monitoring and formation of the National Nutrition Council (CNN) and the Intersectoral Technical Committee for Nutrition (CTIN).
The country has also developed a national road map that will guide them through the process of establishing a costed multi-sectoral nutrition action plan to ensure effective implementation of the newly adopted National Policy of Nutrition. Mali hopes to finalize and adopt this action plan by June 2013.
