Funding for strengthening capacity and coordination among civil society in Mozambique comes at an important time, as the country works to roll out implementation of the 10-year Action Plan for reducing chronic malnutrition. The civil society platform will work with relevant government sectors to ensure that necessary resources are mobilized and allocated for cross-sector implementation of the Action Plan and other nutrition interventions. The platform will also work to mobilize and engage other NGOs and relevant stakeholders at the national- and provincial- level to incorporate nutrition related interventions in their plans and projects.

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.
