Malawi Civil Society Organizations’ Alliance Awarded $428,000

December 11, 2012 - Last update: February 10, 2023
Over $2.1 million has been awarded to national civil society platforms in five SUN countries – Bangladesh, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger and Uganda – through the SUN Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF).
About the SUN MPTF
The SUN MPTF, established in March 2012 by participating UN agencies and contributing donor partners, is designed to ensure catalytic grants reach governments, UN agencies, civil society and other stakeholders to enable development and implementation of national efforts to scale up nutrition. Not meant to replace other steams of funding, the MPTF was established to enable or initiate action on scaling up nutrition at the country-level when other funding support is not available.
In addition to providing financial support for initiating SUN actions at the country level – including establishment and strengthening of multi-stakeholder platforms, stock-taking, hosting national SUN launches and facilitating sharing of experiences at regional and global meetings – an initial funding priority of the MPTF is to support development and operation of civil society platforms in SUN countries.
