About FFDS SUN
The FFDS SUN, created in March 2012 by United Nations agencies and donor partners participating taxpayers, was designed to ensure that governments, UN agencies, civil society and other representatives receive grants to support the development and implementation of national efforts to promote nutrition. The FFDS, which is not intended to replace other funding streams, was set to enable or initiate actions to promote national nutrition when no other financial support available.
In addition to providing financial support to launch SUN actions at national level (including the establishment and strengthening of multi-stakeholder platforms, balance sheets, the organization of the national launch of SUN and exchange of experiences in global and regional meetings ), the initial financial FFDS priority is to support development and operation of civil society platforms in member countries of SUN.
