Progress towards SUN 3.0 Strategic Objectives (SO)

SO.1

Continuation of the anchoring of SUN at the level of the Prime Minister's Office; revitalisation of the government platform through advocacy activities for the commitment of all Secretaries General of all ministries, and the identification of focal points in each ministry; establishment of the National Nutrition Council; establishment of the Permanent Bureau of the National Nutrition Council (BPCNN), acting as the board of directors of the National Nutrition Office (ONN).

SO.2

Establishment of the National Nutrition Policy (2022-2030); establishment of the National Multisectoral Action Plan for Nutrition (2022-2026); establishment of the National Monitoring-Evaluation, Accountability and Learning Plan for Nutrition; establishment and official launch of the Roadmap of the Social Safety Nets project during the national conference on food self-sufficiency, organised from 16 to 18 June 2022 under the chairmanship of His Excellency the President of the Republic of Madagascar.

SO.3

SUN Platforms participate in virtual coordination meetings. However, this coordination must be improved in order to streamline the sharing of information and increase complementarity. Some platforms receive more specific technical and financial support, such as the civil society platform which has been decentralised to the 23 regions of the country, while the rest remain centralised in Antananarivo, the capital. Voluntary work and the absence of a structure for maintaining minimum functioning in certain platforms constitute an obstacle to the efforts undertaken to fight against malnutrition. A SUN funding strategy is planned to empower the platforms, in parallel with the development of the next strategic framework documents.
