Accomplishments or Progress
Embracing the multi-sectoral approach outlined in the Uganda Nutrition Action Plan- operationalised
Joint planning (Transparent accountability) has yielded: Nationwide orientation of DNCCs (100%, now on to phase 2) National Nutrition Advocacy and Communication Strategy UNAP M&E Framework National Nutrition Planning guidelines Nutrition Governance model ( cornell/USAID/UNICEF) Integration of nutrition in sustainable development plans (Vision 2040, NDP II)
as a key cross-cutting issue
Regular coordination mechanism in place (including Cabinet where PM chairs and PS level)
Some level of transparency and mutual accountability (round table to share and agree)
How was this achieved
General global move towards SUN Political commitment at highest level and within sectors Coordination mechanism provided in UNAP Coordination at OPM – the convening mandate Commitment and buy–in of partners / stakeholders Champions lobbying for MS in various at various levels
Pre-conditions/ Enabling factors: Availability of legal, policy and planning frameworks Well developed SWAP mechanism Joint Budget Support Framework (JBSF), Decentralization policy, with LG assessment frameworks National Monitoring and Evaluation policy- Results
Challenges and Risks in MS Process
Sustainability and ‘incentivisation’ of the MS coordination mechanisms
Resources to enable sustainable scale up Nutrition specific and sensitive interventions in place; what is
the add- on requiring budget Functional coordinating capacities
Core competencies (hard and soft ware), staying in power, rules of engagement
HR capacity Evidence / documentation of what works, what doesn’t
and what to scale up… How do we know the MS is working without waiting for impact
indicators? Evidence for progress Transparency still elusive and erratic among partners
Thank you!
