28/01/2021

A regional roundtable in Asia and the Pacific on “Supporting and Strengthening Commitments: Exploring the tools of the Global Nutrition Report” will be hosted virtually via Zoom Meeting on 17  February 2020 from 10:00 hrs to 12:00 hrs CEST.

The event, co-hosted by the Global Nutrition Report (GNR) and the SUN Movement, will showcase the value and usefulness of the Country Nutrition Profiles and N4G commitment tracker and will help countries engage in an active discussion to better understand data needs for their engagement in the N4G commitment making process.

Bringing together multi stakeholder audiences from several key regions, the roundtable will strive to:

(i) showcase the GNR’s refreshed tools, highlighting their utility, value, and complementarity;

(ii) actively position the GNR as 1) an invaluable source of the best-available data and evidence on the state of nutrition globally, and 2) as the lead of the Nutrition Accountability Framework (NAF);

(iii) engage countries in an active discussion to better understand their data needs and to explore how they are engaging with the N4G commitment-making process, sharing further information with stakeholders on how they can make SMART commitments;

(iv) support the SUN Movement in mobilizing countries and building momentum ahead of the 2021 Tokyo N4G Summit.
