How to strengthen the monitoring of a national nutrition action plan

In Côte d‘Ivoire, the Government engaged with the NIPN initiative to strengthen the monitoring of the National Multisectoral Plan of Action on Nutrition and provide critical contextualised, multi-sectoral and robust information to policy makers.

This new case study describes how, concretely, the NIPN platform contributed to improving the M&E of the national action plan on nutrition and the lessons learned along the way. Read the full report HERE.

NIPN in the Emergency Nutrition Network’s Field Exchange

The Emergency Nutrition Network Field Exchange December 2022 issue carries two articles on NIPN:

• an article (p.12) providing an overview of the NIPN initiative, the progress made, and lessons learnt to date from nine NIPN countries; and
• an article (p.26) on the support from NIPN to create a multi-sector information system in Côte d’Ivoire.

To quote from the ENN introduction: ‘Developing an effective monitoring and evaluation system for multisector nutrition responses is formidable – it takes time, resources and dedication, alongside strong coordination and, above all, collaboration’. The full issue can be downloaded HERE.

Phase II to be launched at NIPN Global Gathering

The launch of NIPN Phase II (2022-2025) will take place at the NIPN Global Gathering in October 2022. Phase II has already started in an approach suited to each NIPN country’s specific situation, beginning last year with the extension of the NIPN platform in Guatemala. Mali will join the NIPN initiative this year, while NIPN Bangladesh was closed in February 2022. Technical and management support will be provided by C4N-NIPN in Ethiopia, Mali and Niger; by UNICEF in Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Lao PDR; and by Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE) in Guatemala.
