Scaling Up Nutrition Movement

Scaling Up Nutrition Movement Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) is a country-led movement advancing the SDGs through

When children are properly nourished
they can grow up to be healthy and productive. When children are healthy and productive
their families, communities, and countries
become stronger. That’s why 65 countries around the world have
committed to making nutrition a priority. And why global partners are working
together to support the efforts of
the countries. Together, we can achieve
what no single effort could,
and make the world a healthier,
stronger place for us all.

La anemia infantil afecta al 43,7% de los niños de 6 a 36 meses en el Perú.
Pero en comunidades de Pasco, el cambio ya está en marcha.

Gracias a la acción liderada por la sociedad civil Prisma ONG, la anemia en las comunidades intervenidas se redujo de 74% a 36%.

¿Qué marcó la diferencia?
🔸 Mujeres liderando la respuesta
🔸Acompañamiento cercano en las comunidades
🔸Cambios sostenibles en la alimentación familiar

Son resultados locales que muestran lo que es posible cuando las comunidades lideran, con el apoyo de la Scaling Up Nutrition Civil Society Network, Perusan - Iniciativa por la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional.

By combining nutrition & immunisation services, we can:
➡️ Reach vulnerable communities
➡️ Implement cost-effective programmes
➡️ Save lives

This , let's flip the switch on malnutrition and under-immunisation.

When a child is vaccinated, it's an unmissable opportunity to check for malnutrition, provide supplements, and teach their family about good nutrition. All in one visit.

Immunisation already reaches 90% of children during the critical first 1,000 days of life, making it the ideal platform for integrated nutrition support.

And the case for investment is clear: every dollar invested in nutrition delivers a return of US$23.

This , we're celebrating the power of doing more with every healthcare visit.

Despite its rich agricultural potential, food insecurity remains a persistent challenge in parts of Costa Rica – reaching well above the national average in some communities.

Through the "Empowering Communities in Sustainable Agri-food Systems" initiative, women, youth, and indigenous peoples in Guatuso and Buenos Aires are at the heart of the solution - drawing on local knowledge and cultural practices to strengthen food production, improve diets and stimulate local economies.

Supported by the SUN Movement, UN agencies, and national entities, these community-led solutions are now being integrated into national plans and budgets – with the potential to help other territories across Costa Rica shape their own development and promote healthy nutrition.

Today nutrition will be on the agenda of the Summit.

Sustainable food systems, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental health all influence whether families, especially women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.

For the SUN Movement, this is a critical moment to look back reflect on the bold nutrition commitments made at the Summit.

56 SUN countries registered 365 commitments.
Now it’s time to ask: what progress have we made?

On , we're reminded that the problem isn't a shortage of food, it's a broken system.

Global systems often prioritize the mass production of cheap staples while nutrient-dense foods like fruits and vegetables remain expensive and highly perishable, leading to massive waste before they ever reach a family’s plate.

The SUN Movement is working across 67 countries to fix food "leaks" by putting nutrition at the heart of food systems transformation.
Transforming how we produce, store and distribute food is one of the most powerful tools we have to end malnutrition.

Climate change is reshaping the world our children will inherit ⛈️🌡️.

But across the SUN Movement, countries aren't waiting – they're acting.

From dryland farming communities to flood-prone regions, SUN countries are weaving nutrition into resilience plans, proving that protecting children's health and protecting the planet are the same mission.

A child can eat the most nutritious meal and still suffer from malnutrition – if the water they drink makes them sick🚰.

Waterborne disease is one of the most overlooked drivers of malnutrition. And climate change is making the challenge worse.

This year, the African Union has made water and sanitation a continental priority - recognising that sustainable water and sanitation systems are essential not just for development, but for the health and nutrition of everyone on the continent.

Countries like Nepal and Madagascar are already integrating WASH into national nutrition plans and seeing real results. But more countries need to follow.

Because safe water and good nutrition can’t be separate goals 💧 🥗 .

In Siargao, Philippines, women fishers are bottling sardines that now appear on Michelin-starred menus in Manila — and feeding their communities nutritious food in the process.

This is what it looks like when women farmers get the resources, infrastructure, and support they need.

Yet women producers remain under-financed and under-represented in agricultural investment and food policy - receiving less than 5% of climate finance.

2026 is the International Year of the Woman Farmer.

It's time to do things differently. It's time to .

Our cost the world over $10 trillion each year in hidden damage.

Much of this is driven by unhealthy diets that fuel disease, reduce productivity and slow development.

But transformation is possible.

As leaders gather at the Asian Development Bank Asia and the Pacific Food Systems Forum to advance action on resilient and sustainable food systems, SUN countries are already showing what works.

From policy to practice, countries and communities are demonstrating that integrating into food systems transformation delivers real impact.
