    • CIAI– Italian Association for Aid to Children – we really appreciate the invitation of UNSCN to share our views about the draft. We would like to bring your attention to the specific measures that  have been taken in consideration in the “Action area 3: Social protection and nutrition education” and along the full draft, regarding children of all ages.  Form our experience of almost 50 years working with children, we consider that Governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector and nutrition advocates should also promote more participative actions, where children are not only a passive receptor of school feeding programs and nutritional education, but participate actively during the programming, implementation and valuation of the actions and services addressed to them. Children’ of all ages should have an active role that can be activated through children  clubs, schools committees for food, nutrition,  and WASH services, and their participation in the local and national level consultation platforms, to increase the effectiveness and sustainability of the measures to address malnutrition challenges.
