Dear members,

Please find below the latest contributions to the discussion on “Nutrition-sensitive social protection programmes around the world – What’s being done and to what effect?".

We would like to encourage you to take advantage of these last days to bring up social protection programmes which are helping to address nutrition problems.

In parallel to this online exchange, participants at the Global Forum on Nutrition-Sensitive Social Protection Programs going on in Moscow are discussing on how to address country needs, disseminate best practices and promote the engagement of all actors in improving the impacts on nutrition of social protection programmes.

Please visit the website for the questions proposed and to read all contributions and post online or send your feedback to [log in to unmask]. English, French and Spanish are welcome.

We look forward to further inputs!
