Usefulness
If an information gathering or validation meeting took place, would you say that the meeting
was seen as useful by participants, beyond the usual work of the multi-stakeholder platform
(MSP)?

Why?
UN-fortunate and as mentioned in the first section, this year we did not have enough time to
6. organize meetings to write up SUN annual assessment, however from experience in 2018 JAA
the discussion through meetings was useful, because it was face to face, getting ideas, and it
was like learning session from each other, compare to communicate it through emails which
takes more times back and forth.

- Expansion MSP to get key members on board, such as Women union, NCCW; diverse civil society
groups; private sector partnerships; media; parliamentarians; scientists and academics - Additional
relevant line ministries, departments and agencies on board, for Sudan this significant group has
been formed as official network as part of the SUN structure in the country. - Frequent engagement
with actors or groups specialized on specific themes such as gender, equity and non-discrimination,
education, social protection and WASH, still there is a room for systemizing this engagement - Ensure
that the MSP membership is expanded to – or better able to – support women’s leadership, for
Sudan the leadership of the Civil society network is chaired by Women Union as signal of women
empowerment and leadership. - Establishment of decentralized structures and/or processes that
support planning and action locally (identification of decentralized structures and Terms of Reference
development is ongoing.), for Sudan this significant groups is planned to be formal network as part of
SUN structure. - Involve representatives from local levels in the national mechanism or create
feedback mechanisms between the central and local levels, including the community and vulnerable
groups. - The DN includes about 10 members. This is not fully representative of the Donor community
in the country, because some Donors, which are active in the country (i.e. the non-traditional ones),
are not members of the Network although we have approached them in several occasion. - The Civil
Society Network has planned National Workshops on bi-annual basis to invite NGOs, CBOs from
national and sub national levels - A list of 223 NGOS, CBOs is already prepared to reach NGOs/CBOs
at sub national levels as well - Around 37 NGOs/CBOs at Khartoum and some other states are
meeting regularly in Khartoum

The systems exist but not a lot has been achieved on the roadmap because of divergent interests and
bottlenecks in financing. The MSP is used regularly to interact on nutrition-related issues among
stakeholders. The DN is part of the MSP, which has been established since the beginning of 2018 in
the country. The Donor Convener, on behalf of all Network, has regularly attended the meetings of
the MSP and has been contributing to the discussion to scale up nutrition in the national political
agenda. However, from the Donors’ perspective, the MSP should agree on practical steps to
overcome the challenges for its effective functioning. The MSP is still only a national mechanism with
no decentralization at the sub-national one. There is not real communication between the central and
local levels, as well as between different state actors (such the Ministries). The Donors have generally
to liaise singularly with the relevant state Ministries in their areas of intervention. The CSN has been
active part of the multi stakeholder platform at national level by participating in the country network
meeting where UN network, Donor Network, Business Network and inter-ministerial committee
members are participating. In addition, CSN had reached the donor network for receiving supportive
letter from the Italian cooperation, to apply for the SUN global pooled fund.

Nothing related to MSP tracks and reports is in place yet. The first step in this direction should be the
definition of priorities and the development of work plans, with roles and responsibilities for the
stakeholders and actors. If a MSP work plan is not outlined, it is quite hard to measure and report the
progress against the achievement of its objectives. Also, the DN due to its recent set up, has not
defined yet its workplan, and is not reporting on its achievement to the local institutions. Monitoring
exercises are not started. Reports are not yet available on websites and other communication
platforms. Key stakeholders report on their progress during meeting but information on nutrition
expenditures are not available.

SUMMARY: Bringing people together in the same space
Please describe overall achievements, positive developments, key challenges and suggestions for
improvement towards bringing people together in the same space seen the past year (April 2018 - April

The FMOH has made considerable efforts to address under-nutrition, in order to reach the MDG target
of halving the number of people suffering from hunger by 2015. Nutrition is emphasized within the
current NHSS 2014-2018 as part of the basic package of PHC service. Nevertheless, nutrition is among
the core programs addressed through maternal and child health acceleration plan In consideration of the
benefits of intervening during the gestational period and children under-5 years old. The plan developed
by FMOH and partners to close the gap towards 2015 MDGs. Different nutrition guidelines and protocols
have been developed including CMAM, hospital management of SAM, Essential Nutrition Package
(ENP), (IYCF) to improve service provision. Although, the current nutrition interventions focus on
treatment of acute malnutrition, there is gradual shift towards prevention of stunting with wider multi-
sectoral coordination.

Multi sectorial nutrition situation analysis is being done in the humanitarian context, the
humanitarian response plans for the past 3 years 2017-2020 was multi sectorial in terms of joint
planning and implementation. The programme is aligned to national nutrition-relevant policies, but
there are still some gaps and bottlenecks – particularly around nutrition-sensitive policies. Other
individual initiatives are recognized; however, need to be connected with the nutrition
targets/policies. One of the main objective of the DN is aligning their actions according the national
policies and priorities. To this purpose the DN has started the development of a tool for mapping their
nutrition interventions in the country. When the data collection and analysis will be finalized, existing
gaps and bottlenecks will be identified, and Donors will be able to align and integrate their actions.

Monitoring mechanism is in place with different degree of intensity depending on the programmes.
For example, within health sector, quarterly reporting of the results of nutrition specific interventions
is practised, but mechanism is to track, and report implementation results of nutrition sensitive
interventions is less clear. The donor-funded program typically have a structured monitoring and
evaluation framework, including baseline and end line population-based. Some Donors have
supported individually the development of case studies, reports, surveys, impact evaluations and
researches to build evidence base for improved nutrition; but as DN no common action has been
undertaken in this framework.

funding (50 M USD) annually, bringing all actors together under one budgeting forum is a work in
progress. In- country stakeholders should improve the information sharing about their budget
allocations in order to address the financial resources towards the country’s priorities and mobilize
additional resources, as needed. Eight of SUN CSOs have applied for the Global SUN Pooled fund
