The SUN Movement supports collaboration to enable SUN countries’ access to different initiatives and ensure these innovative financing mechanisms are part of the solution to mobilize more nutrition funding, to reach the 2025 WHA and 2030 SDG targets on nutrition.
Since 2015, four new financing mechanisms were launched with a significant nutrition focus: Global Financing Facility (GFF) (36 SUN countries); Power of Nutrition (PofN) (10 SUN countries); UNITLIFE; Nutrition impact bonds. In addition to these four mechanisms, the World Bank Human capital project launched in 2017 (33 SUN countries out of 60 countries overall) will provide an opportunity to secure nutrition financing for the next years through new partnerships with the GFF, the Power of Nutrition and the SUN Movement.
The Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) (40 SUN Countries), initiated in 2009, is a multilateral financing mechanism dedicated to fighting hunger, malnutrition and poverty in developing countries in line with the SDG 2.
