FNC Participates in the 2019 Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Global Gathering
FNC is taking part in the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Global Gathering underway in Kathmandu, Nepal. The gathering is running from the 4th to the 7th of November 2019 under the theme “Nourishing People and Planet Together”. As the focal point, FNC is leading a delegation comprised of members from SUN Zimbabwe Networks which include SUN Research and Academia Platform (SUNRAP), Donor network, UN Network and the Zimbabwe Civil Society Organisation for Scaling Up Nutrition Alliance (ZCSOSUNA).
The SUN Global Gathering brings together SUN Government Focal Points and representatives of their partners. It is the flagship event of the SUN Movement and an important moment where members take stock of progress and challenges, share their innovations and learn what is helping to reduce malnutrition across all SUN Countries. At this event, countries get the opportunity to share and learn from each other how they are fighting against all forms of malnutrition. FNC is showcasing various initiatives being undertaken by food and nutrition stakeholders to tackle malnutrition in the country. The exhibition is highlighting the importance of implementing a multi-stakeholder response as food and nutrition challenges cannot be tackled by 1 sector alone.
