    The high-level conference will propose a flexible policy framework to address major nutrition challenges and identify priorities for enhanced international cooperation on nutrition. Evidence shows that creating more inclusive fora has enabled greater participation, transparency, inclusion and plurality in policy discussions, thus leading to increased ownership of decisions made at a global level. It is also necessary to mobilize the knowledge and capacities of all different stakeholders to gener ate a political consensus to promote nutrition as a priority in the global development agenda. In light of the above, the Governing Bodies of FAO and WHO have requested both agencies to ensure consultations with all relevant stakeholders, including other United Nations organizations working in the field of nutrition, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector.
