The 2018 SUN Movement Annual Progress Report
The 2018 SUN Movement Progress Report shows that our 8-year-old Movement is making progress in fighting malnutrition, year after year – thanks to the thousands of people dedicated to make malnutrition a thing of the past.
FOOD - PLANET - HEALTH
The EAT-Lancet Commission brings together more than 30 world-renowned scientists from across the globe aiming to reach consensus defining a healthy and sustainable diet. On 17 January 2019, the Commission launched its first full scientific review on healthy diets from sustainable systems.

Join a SUN Network!
Joining the Donor Network
The SUN Donor Network at the global level welcomes all development partners and multilateral donors who are engaged in nutrition or wish to intensify their engagement through stronger contributions with the SUN Movement. The SUN Donor Network is actively engaged at the working level and in the Senior Officials Group, which is providing strategic and political guidance to the network. All donors agencies are represented at both levels.
Membership in the SUN Donor Network is by institution and not by personal interest and there are no application forms or set criteria for joining. To send a request to the SUN Donor Network, complete this Contact Us form with the subject “Join the SUN Donor Network” and address it to the Network Facilitator and Co-facilitators – Maren Lieberum, Anne Peniston & Ben Siddle.
Becoming a Donor Convenor
The appointment of the Donor Convenor at country level is debated and decided at country level by the donors and the relevant government authorities. The Donor Convenor role in each SUN Country is also appointed by institution and not at a personal level. Applicants for the Donor Convenor position are those actively engaged in the country, with a country presence and involved in financing or providing technical assistance to nutrition specific or nutrition sensitive programmes. Donors not represented in the global Donor Network, can be eligible for the donor convener role.

Country Membership
At the country level, membership of the UN Network includes United Nations funds and programmes, specialized agencies (such as FAO, IFAD, UNICEF, WFP and WHO), and other agencies and institutions active in nutrition at the country level. Various additional United Nations agencies are already involved in nutrition and participate in the UN Network in some countries. These include, among others, UNFPA, UN Women, IAEA, International Labour Organisation, UNDP, UNHCR, United Nations Office for Project Services, and the World Bank. The UN Network for SUN encourages full participation of all United Nations entities active in nutrition in a given country as this contributes to the harmonization and effectiveness of the United Nations.
You can access tools and resources developed by the UN Network for SUN here and you can also contact the UN Network at UNNetworkforSUN@wfp.org.

The SUN Business Network (SBN) has developed a public register of commitment to encourage transparency and accountability. Commitments may have been made to other platforms (such as Every Woman Every Child or Nutrition for Growth Compact) provided their impact on nutrition is clearly articulated. These commitments will be reviewed by the SBN co-chairs and the SUN Movement Secretariat and published on the SBN website. Any organisation submitting a commitment must agree to provide an annual update reporting progress.
Each organisation wishing to become a member of the SBN is required to submit:
- a statement that the organisation supports and complies with the SUN and SBN Principles of Engagement, as well as
- a statement of its planned or actual contribution (either financial, in-kind or knowledge/technology transfer) to either nutrition-specific interventions or nutrition-sensitive interventions, aligned with the SUN Strategy or one or more individual country’s nutrition action plan.
Membership forms, templates and guidance can be found here on the SBN website: www.sunbusinessnetwork.org
