SUN Civil Society Network Global Day of Action 2014

In May 2014, the second Global Day of Action (GDA) saw momentum increasing as a result of an ever vibrant, active civil society community for scaling up nutrition that is steadily growing across the globe. Twelve civil society alliances coordinated actions in support of the ‘Global Day of Action’ calling upon their own governments and others around the world to prioritise nutrition. Their activities included public marches, concerts, soccer tournaments and community gardening activities as well as parliamentary meetings and panel discussions.
