On 8 May 2014, the Zambia Civil Society Scaling-Up Nutrition (CSO-SUN) Alliance commemorated the Global Day of Action at Katoba Primary School in Chongwe. This was the day when civil society across the globe spoke out together for improved nutrition for children.
The event took place in Lukonshi ward, 60km from Lusaka and was graced by an Area member of Parliament Sylvia Masebo with the view to drawing stakeholders’ attention to nutrition and advancing multi-sectoral national efforts in addressing nutrition as a priority.
CSO-SUN National Coordinator William Chilufya observed that malnutrition is a serious social and economic problem that needs to be tackled decisively. He said “The first step is ensuring that we all support national nutrition programmes. Without concerted and coordinated actions across government, progress against malnutrition will be insufficient.”
