Ethiopian Civil Society Coalition for Scaling up Nutrition (ECSC-SUN) presented a paper at the Civil Society Organization (CSO) conference advocating for the integration of multi-sectoral nutrition approaches. On his presentation, Abebe Bimerew ECSC-SUN national lead, emphasized CSO profound impact on people’s lives. The paper provided substantial evidence and underscored the critical importance of addressing this issue. Three points were recommended:
- Strengthen multisectoral coordination and ownership vertical and horizontal linkage to ensure joint planning, budgeting, implementing, and monitoring at all levels.
- Finalize the establishment of food systems and nutrition council to ensure nutrition governance and accountability. It is known the existing multi-sectoral coordination and governance platforms have no legal framework.
- Strengthen resource mobilization for additional financing from government treasury budget, partners, donors, and private sector.
