Achievements
Through increased UN coordination and convergence, the UN [Nutrition] Network (UNN) helps participating agencies harness the full impact of their actions to help countries accelerate progress towards national nutrition targets.
UN Network Reporting Portal
Launched in 2016, the portal provides a platform to collect, visualize and share key data on UNN. This includes reporting data that captures the state of the Network. In 2019, 97 percent of the UN Networks in SUN countries completed the UNN reporting exercise − the highest compliance rate on record.
The reporting data feeds into an aggregated analysis, illustrating trends, gaps and opportunities for increased harmonization and convergence. UNN progress is also highlighted in seminal global reports, which ascertain how UNN’s collective contributions (including those of UNN-REACH) are supporting greater nutrition results under the SUN Movement’s MEAL framework.
UNN Country Profiles
This exciting new feature of the UN Network annual report highlights the country-specific membership, main achievements as well as other dynamics. Read about the UNN’s engagement in multi-stakeholder/sectoral platforms (MSPs), support to SUN Government Focal Points and collaboration with other SUN networks along the path to scale-up.
REACHing for Results
UNN-REACH lends directly embedded support to SUN Government Focal Points and nutrition coordination structures on nutrition governance, particularly strengthening capacity for effective multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder coordination. Countries call upon UNN-REACH to bring momentum to SUN processes and networks, most notably the UN Network, in order to accelerate action.
UNN-REACH results feed into the contributions of the greater UN Network in support of all five UNN outcomes. Independent evaluations on UNN-REACH have supplemented internal M&E mechanisms and identified where it is performing best. They have also provided strategic insights about the factors driving those successes, and guided the evolution of the UNN-REACH model. For additional information, visit the UNN-REACH webpage.
