MULTISECTORAL PLANNING FOR NUTRITION: Conducting Stakeholder Consultations for Nutrition

As part of stakeholder engagement and multisectoral nutrition plan (MSNP)/common results framework (CRF) planning, it is important to consult with all nutrition stakeholders identified through the stakeholder mapping exercise. This will likely include the SUN Focal Point, the SUN multi-stakeholder platform, SUN networks, representatives of different government sectors and ministries, subnational/district government representatives, United Nations agencies, bilateral donors, nongovernmental organisations, civil society, businesses, academics, etc. This consultation will assist in engaging all key actors in validating findings from the contextual analysis and/or initiating the national multisectoral nutrition planning for defining the overall framework, including the goal, objectives, indicators and a set of interventions for each sector. Consultation and engagement will further help the identified stakeholders understand their roles and responsibilities towards achieving the goal through enhancing multisectoral coordination and collaboration.
