NIPN @ SUN Global gathering - November 2019
On the 6th of November, representatives from the Global Support Facility and from the NIPNs of Lao PDR and Niger shared the experience of NIPN in a workshop entitled "More or better data for improved decision-making for nutrition?". Using data effectively enables actionable and strategic decision making, and the SUN Movement is committed to support and engage countries in filling those data gaps that limit their ability to track disbursements and achievements. The NIPN initiative pursues this objective. Topics discussed during this workshop include nutrition data challenges, gaps, duplication, recommended actions and collaborative mechanisms for sharing, convergence and harmonisation; as well as how nutrition information can be transformed into powerful stories that influence nutrition policies and results.

2nd NIPN Global Gathering - May 2019
The 2nd NIPN Global Gathering took place in Amsterdam on May 22-24, bringing together 62 participants from 8 NIPN countries, members of the Expert Advisory Group and representatives of the initiative’s donors. A lot of progress was made over the past year in implementation of the NIPN operational cycle: seven countries are on track with fully operational NIPN teams, in which policy and data components are working together, and a massive amount of preparatory work has been done or is on-going in many of the NIPN countries. The countries were therefore in the driver’s seat of this second Global Gathering, which was almost entirely organized and animated around a ‘body of experience’ showcased across fourteen presentations and group work sessions.

3rd EAG meeting - May 2019
The 3rd Expert Advisory Group (EAG) meeting took place on May 21st in Amsterdam gathering 19 participants. The discussions focused on NIPN implementation challenges, the learning and adaptation agenda and the road towards institutionalising the NIPN approach in countries. The main recommendations from the experts, applying both to the global and the national levels, were about building self-reflection moments throughout implementation, ensuring the quality of NIPN outputs at all levels (data, analysis, interpretation, communication) and building an extended NIPN network to create a set of influential allies to build the visibility and the credibility of the NIPN. The EAG meeting was followed by the NIPN Global Gathering, so that those recommendations could be discussed directly with NIPN country teams. View the report.
