N4G Paris Commitment Guide

This document provides stakeholders (governments, donors, philanthropic organizations, United Nations organizations, civil society organizations, private sector, research institutions) with guidance on formulating commitments for the N4G Paris Summit. It addresses commitment-making, recording, registration and reporting for N4G Paris accountability purposes. It also describes criteria for making meaningful and SMART commitments and outlines principles of engagement for stakeholders.

The document builds upon the commitment guide and lessons learned from the 2021 N4G Tokyo Summit and has been enriched by national and international consultations led within the N4G Paris governance. It reflects some of the high-level recommendations of studies implemented by the EU4SUN program, which aims to assess the status of implementation of the N4G commitments made for the Tokyo Summit in seven West African countries.

The N4G Paris Commitment Guide is an umbrella document, intended to be read alongside the N4G Paris Vision and Road Map, which details the framing of the thematic areas envisioned for the Summit. The Guide will be complemented by the commitments recommendations produced by the six thematic working groups of the N4G International Advisory Committee. Together, the Guide and these documents should be used by all stakeholders interested in advancing the nutrition agenda as part of N4G Paris.
