The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement Annual Progress Report 2018

In 2018, the SUN Movement marks its eighth year and the mid-term period of its Strategy and Roadmap (2016-2020). It is driven by 60 countries and the Indian States of Jharkhand, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh. In September 2017, Afghanistan became the Movement’s newest member. These countries and states are home to most of the girls and boys who are too short for their age (stunted) or weigh too little for their height (wasted). United with civil society, business, United Nations agencies, donors and academia – SUN Movement member countries and states are committed to making sure that the potential of everyone, everywhere is unleashed by making malnutrition a thing of the past. By joining this country-driven and country-led Movement, members become part of a fast-growing community that is learning – also from one another – how to bring people together, put the right policies and laws in place, strive toward common results and invest for lasting impact
