Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetMaximizing the impact of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016This document summarizes the online consultation Maximizing the Impact of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition which was held on FAO’s Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum) from 20 September to 16 October 2016. The consultation was facilitated by Christine Campeau from the United Nations Standing Committee on Nutrition (UNSCN). The aim of this consultation was to gather input on the question of how the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (hereafter Decade) could best achiev e its goals. The Decade was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly on 1 April 2016 to accelerate global action to achieve the goal of eradicating hunger and malnutrition as embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The General Assembly places the Decade in the follow-up to the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2). Participants were asked to share their expectations for the Decade, and in particular how it could make a difference in improving nutrition in their own co untries. The consultation also included a question on which critical activities need to be included in the Decade’s Work Programme, and which specific activities would need to be accelerated in participants’ countries. In addition, contributors shared ideas on how to improve the quality of commitments, and on how platforms such as CFS and UNSCN and other movements and sectors could be involved and contribute during the Decade. Over the four weeks of consultation, participants from 48 countries s hared 119 contributions.
The topic introduction and the questions proposed, as well as all contributions received, are available on the consultation page.

Book (stand-alone)Maximizing nutrition in crop production
A guidance note on impact pathways for mainstreaming nutrition based on a case study from Ghana
2021Also available in:
No results found.Ghana’s agricultural sector plays a vital role in income generation, foreign exchange earnings, employment, and food security for over 70 percent of its people. Despite the significant role of the crop production sector, limited attention has been given to maximizing its potential to address food insecurity and malnutrition. For that reason, FAO, in collaboration with World Vision, has produced this guidance note on mainstreaming nutrition into the crop production sector using a food systems approach. This guidance note aims to inform national-level policymakers and key participants in the food system on the issues and opportunities relating to Ghana’s fruit and vegetable value chain, with a particular focus on smallholder households.
