    Une vision commune pour une action mondiale visant à éliminer la faim et à mettre fin à toutes les formes de malnutrition a été définie par les dix engagements de la Déclaration de Rome sur la nutrition ainsi que les 60 options politiques et stratégies recommandées dans son Cadre d’action adoptés à la deuxième Conférence internationale sur la nutrition (CIN2), en novembre 2014. La mise en œuvre des dix engagements par l’intermédiaire du Cadre d’action de la CIN2 contribuera à assurer la reddition de comptes et le suivi des progrès accomplis en ce qui concerne les six cibles mondiales en matière de nutrition pour 2025 fixées par l’Assemblée mondiale de la santé ainsi que les cibles mondiales volontaires concernant les maladies non transmissibles liées à la nutrition. Suite à la recommandation formulée dans la Déclaration de Rome, l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies a proclamé, en avril 2016, la Décennie d’action des Nations Unies pour la nutrition 2016-2025. Celle-ci offre une occasion unique à l’ensemble des pays et aux parties prenantes de s’unir autour d’un cadre commun et d’accroître la visibilité, de renforcer la coordination, d’améliorer l’efficacité et l’efficience de l’action en matière de nutrition à tous les niveaux et dans le monde entier.

    The United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016-2025 aims to trigger intensified action to end hunger and eradicate all forms of malnutrition worldwide, and ensure universal access to healthier and more sustainable diets for all people, whoever they are and wherever they live. Achieving and sustaining on-the-ground reductions in malnutrition will require strong commitment from many people and organizations including policy-makers and governments, implementing agencies and teams, civil society groups, research institutions, businesses and communities. Such commitment does not come easily: it must be created, sustained and strengthened over time. This policy brief sets out factors that drive commitment for nutrition, and is intended to guide actions that will increase commitment by all stakeholders.
