Descripción
In 1977, the United Nations System Standing Committee on Nutrition (UNSCN) was established to coordinate work on various aspects of nutrition carried out by different United Nations (UN) agencies. Under this project in 2016, the UNSCN returned to FAO headquarters in Rome after previously being hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva. The UNSCN had multiple functions: ( i ) to provide global strategic guidance and advocacy in nutrition to ensure engagement and investment at the highest level and to ensure progress towards nutrition security for all;(ii) to enhance dialogue and linkages, fostering joint nutrition action, partnerships and mutual accountability between UN agencies; (iii) to harmonize concepts, including methodologies and guidelines, policies and strategies in response to the nutritional needs of countries; (iv) to facilitate knowledge exchange of practices, tools and needs, enhancing coherence of the global nutrition public goods agenda and identifying emerging issues; (v) to communicate on global trends, progress and results and to enhance global advocacy through networks and platforms; and (vi) to engage in and facilitate dialogue with stakeholders across health, food security, water and sanitation and social protection constituencies for strengthening nutrition action and mainstreaming nutrition into development policies.
