The SUN approach - Scaling Up Nutrition-SUN

advertisement
SUN is a unique
Movement
founded on the principle
that all people have a
right to food &
good nutrition.
Why nutrition? The facts
Over 165 million children under 5
are stunted as a result of malnutrition.
• 52 million children are too thin and require special
treatment.
• At the same time, 43 million children are overweight some as a result of poverty, when families are unable to
afford a balanced, nutritious diet.
• 2 billion people are deficient in key vitamins & minerals
A smart investment
Eliminating under-nutrition in young
children has multiple benefits. It can:
• Boost gross national product by 11%
in Africa and Asia.
• Improve school attainment by at least
one year.
• Increase wages by 5-50%.
• Reduce poverty as well-nourished
children are 33% more likely to escape
poverty as adults.
• Empower women to be 10% more
likely to run their own business
The causes of malnutrition are

Specific Actions for Nutrition
Feeding Practices & Behaviors:
Encouraging exclusive breastfeeding
up to 6 months of age and continued
breastfeeding together with
appropriate and nutritious food up to
2 years of age and beyond
Nutrition-Sensitive Strategies
Agriculture: Making nutritious food more
accessible to everyone, and supporting
small farms as a source of income for
women and families
Clean Water & Sanitation: Improving
access to reduce infection and disease
Fortification of foods: Enabling access
to nutrients through incorporating
them into foods
Education & Employment: Making sure
children have the nutrition needed to
learn and earn a decent income as adults
Micronutrient supplementation:
Direct provision of extra nutrients
Health Care: Access to services that
enable women & children to be healthy
Treatment of acute malnutrition:
Enabling persons with moderate and
severe malnutrition to access effective
treatment
Support for Resilience: Establishing a
stronger, healthier population and
sustained prosperity to better endure
emergencies and conflicts
Across all approaches –
enabling equity for women
At the core of all efforts,
women are empowered
to be leaders in their families and
communities, leading the way to a
healthier and stronger world.

SUN Focal Point
is identified

Tracking and reporting impact
Establishing targets to measure impact: Countries are encouraged to
establish their own targets for nutrition goals in the following areas:
•
Universal access to affordable nutritious food, clean water, sanitation, healthcare and
social protection
•
Increased adoption of practices that contribute to good nutrition (such as exclusive
breastfeeding in the first six months of life)
•
Optimal growth of children, demonstrated as reduced levels of stunting (low height for
age) and wasting (low weight for height)
•
Improved micronutrient status, especially in women and children, demonstrated as
reduced levels of micronutrient deficiency
Annual SUN Movement Progress Report: Released in September each
year by the SUN Movement Secretariat, the report provides updates on
progress in achieving the Movement’s goals and strategic objectives.
Supporting global impact
Together, countries and supporting stakeholders are
collectively working to reach the global targets set out by the
World Health Assembly 2012 Resolution:
40% reduction of the global number of
Target 1: children under 5 who are stunted
Target 2: 50% reduction of anemia in women of
reproductive age
Target 3: 30% reduction of low birth weight
Target 4: Increase exclusive breastfeeding rates in
the first 6 months up to at least 50%
Target 5: No increase in childhood overweight
Target 6: Reducing and maintaining childhood
wasting to less than 5%
