SUN Movement 4.0 Strategy

Working towards SUN 4.0

The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement must evolve to meet the challenges of today and the future. With the SUN 3.0 era coming to a close, SUN 4.0 needs to build on the Movement’s successes and lay the foundation for a legacy shaped by  stronger country capacity and ownership, financial sustainability, risk reduction and management of new nutrition challenges. Rooted in the principles of inclusivity, collaboration, and impact, SUN 4.0 is designed to drive nutrition action for the most vulnerable populations.

A Strategy Shaped by: 

Countries

The development of SUN 4.0 will be guided by the voices of countries. Recognizing that an effective and impactful strategy must be informed by those it serves, a consultative process will ensure country perspectives are at the core of the approach.

  • Active Consultation: Countries will be engaged through dedicated workshops and structured dialogues to shape the Framework and refine priorities.
  • An Iterative Approach: The principles of SUN 4.0 are not fixed but are evolving based on feedback from stakeholders, including governments, civil society, donors, and international institutions.
  • A Shared Vision: Our collective goal is to develop a strategy that is inclusive, actionable, and aligned with country needs—one that strengthens national and regional capacities while maintaining global advocacy and coordination.
Regional and Global Opportunities 

Using SUN as a convening platform, SUN 4.0 intends to elevate the voice of countries in global policy dialogue and work with a broad set of stakeholders to maintain and build momentum to reduce malnutrition in all its forms. A stronger focus on nutrition integration is intended to open up more development financing to nutrition. 

Future-Proofing Nutrition

SUN 4.0 needs to ensure nutrition remains central to global and national agendas, even in a rapidly changing world. 

  • A Movement that Lasts: Transitioning from a Secretariat-led structure to one driven by country-led networks, ensuring SUN’s impact remains strong beyond the next four years.
  • Sustainability and Legacy: Ensuring the Movement’s impact continues beyond 2030 by fostering financial independence and integrating nutrition outcomes across a wide range of sectors and through cross-cutting themes like climate. 
  • Regionalisation: Strengthening partnerships with regional institutions, including the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) and regional financial institutions.
  • A Broader Nutrition Agenda: Addressing the growing burden of overweight and obesity while maintaining a strong focus on undernutrition especially in fragile contexts.
  • Nutrition and Climate Resilience: Elevating the role of nutrition in climate discussions and ensuring food systems support lead to sustainable nutrition outcomes.
  • Building Resilience in Fragile States: Strengthening nutrition interventions in humanitarian settings to better support the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Join the Conversation

The success of SUN 4.0 depends on the collective efforts of all stakeholders. We welcome continued dialogue and invite partners to share their insights as we shape the future of the Movement together. By working together, we can ensure that nutrition remains a global priority—one that is locally driven, globally supported, and future-ready.
