Over the last couple of years, we have provided support to the Government of Vietnam and its partners in the development of the National Nutrition Strategy 2021-2030 and worked with the Government of Ethiopia to explore ways of strengthening early warning and the scale up of safety nets in response to crises. We are currently supporting the Scaling up Nutrition Secretariat in Yemen to coordinate the implementation of the Yemen Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Action Plan drawing on the comparative advantages of humanitarian and development partners.

N4D has worked with the SUN Movement to inform its approach to knowledge management and learning up to end 2025. We also participated in the independent Mid Term Review of the Global Nutrition Report, co-facilitated the GNR´s strategic planning process to address the Review´s recommendations on strategy and governance and conducted a needs assessment and context analysis to inform the GNR’s programme of work up to end 2025. In 2021, we supported nutrition donors, UN agencies, business and civil society to prepare for the Nutrition for Growth Summit, hosted by the Government of Japan.

N4D considers more and better, multisectoral data and evidence at country and local levels to be critical for strengthening national nutrition policies, implementation and accountability. We recently participated in a review of Nutrition Information Systems (NIS) in fragile and conflicted affected contexts and are currently undertaking an independent evaluation of the contribution of the National Information Platform for Nutrition (NIPN) initiative to policy making in eight countries.
