[UN Decade of Action on Nutrition]<http://www.who.int/nutrition/GA_decade_action/en/>





Dear Members,

The world has committed to eradicate hunger and eliminate all forms of malnutrition by 2030. The UN General Assembly launched the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) to strengthen global action and to bring together initiatives and efforts working towards the 2030 goal.

Today we would like to invite you to participate in developing the Work Programme of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. Please share the elements you believe are needed to make this Decade a success, at country and at global level, and what needs to be done by the different actors involved.

The online consultation<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/activities/discussions/decade_nutrition> will be open for the next three weeks. Below you can read the full introduction message, which is also available in Arabic<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/ar/activities/discussions/decade_nutrition>, Chinese<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/zh/activities/discussions/decade_nutrition>, French<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/fr/activities/discussions/decade_nutrition>, Russian<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/ru/activities/discussions/decade_nutrition> and Spanish<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/es/activities/discussions/decade_nutrition> on the FSN Forum website.

To take part, please send your comments in any of the languages available to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or post them online upon registration to the FSN Forum<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/>.

We look forward to reading your comments and please do not hesitate to extend this invitation to your friends and colleagues.

Your FSN Forum team











With the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the world has committed to eradicate hunger and eliminate all forms of malnutrition by 2030.

The UN Decade of Action on Nutrition <http://www.who.int/nutrition/GA_decade_action/en/> (2016-2025) proclaimed by the UN General Assembly on 1 April 2016 calls for accelerated global action to achieve this goal. The UN General Assembly Resolution places the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition in the context of follow-up to the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2). It tasks the co-convenors of ICN2, FAO and WHO, to organise the implementation of the Decade through an inclusive and participatory process, working “with existing institutions and with available resources”. The UNSCN is supporting this effort by initiating an online discussion to collect the ideas of all relevant actors. Specifically, and taking the ICN2 outcomes as a framework, the UNSCN wants to know what elements you believe should be taken into consideration in the development of the Work Programme for the implementation of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition.

We would therefore like to invite you to share your views on how best to maximise the potential of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. You may want to consider the following questions:

1.       What are your expectations for the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition and how could it make a significant difference in improving nutrition and food security of the people in your country within the next ten years?

2.       What critical activities need to be included in the Work Programme for the implementation of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition to reach the 2025 global nutrition targets? Which activities would need to be accelerated in your country to reach these targets? How could these activities be funded?

3.       What can be done to accelerate and improve the quality of commitments from the various actors? What role(s) should public and private actors play in monitoring their implementation?

4.       How can other relevant forums, such as the CFS and the UNSCN, contribute, and how can other movements (e.g. human rights, environment) be involved in the Decade?

This consultation is part of a wider discussion to help elaborate the Work Programme for the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. We invite you to circulate this opportunity to the appropriate stakeholders in your country and networks to guarantee that all actors are able to engage and be connected in a meaningful way.

Thank you for your valuable contribution to this exchange.

Christine Campeau

Technical Officer, UNSCN
