At the national level, coordination is carried out at several levels: within the Interministerial Committee on the fight against malnutrition and within the nutrition working groups at the central and regional level (four regions are concerned: extreme north, north, Adamaoua and east). The nutrition working group meets every month. The multi-stakeholder platform does not yet have sufficient high-level coordination. A political focal point who is either a representative of the Prime Minister or of the President’s office is expected to be appointed.
The Interministerial Committee has been established and is in operation. Its president is the Minister Secretary General of the Prime Minister’s Office.
The civil society platform chaired by Helen Keller International includes various sectors (health, education and agriculture). The civil society platform is mapping actors and developing an action plan. The civil society platform’s activities have been revitalised in anticipation of its legal recognition and launch.
The United Nations network for the SUN Movement, under UNICEF’ leadership, is in operation. Invitations have been sent to other agencies (UNHCR, IFAD, UNFPA).
The French Development Cooperation Agency, representing donors, is working towards creating a platform for donors.
A private sector network for the SUN Movement was launched at the Business Forum on Nutrition (May 2014).
The SUN Movement Business Network was launched in 2014. A consultative framework, an implementing and monitoring mechanism as well as an investment fund for nutrition have been established. A network of members of parliament for the fight against malnutrition is also very active.
