Accelerating Nutrition Improvements (‎ANI)‎: mapping of stakeholders and nutrition actions in three scaling-up countries in sub-Saharan Africa: report of the second meeting, 10 February 2015, Kampala, Uganda

Overview

The Accelerating Nutrition Improvements in sub-Saharan Africa (ANI) project was launched in March 2013, supported by Global Affairs Canada. The project aimed to: 

As part of the global and regional components of the ANI project, WHO committed to supporting Ethiopia, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania to map stakeholders and programme implementation. This activity was carried out in collaboration with Renewed Efforts Against Child Hunger (REACH). Describing actual implementation modalities of nutrition interventions is important to identify effective (and ineffective) practices, and thus to maximize the impact of the actions being carried out. The identification of implementing agencies or partners, and assessing the coverage and quality of the services provided are crucial for planning and scaling up effective actions.

Participants from the three countries met in Kampala, Uganda on 10 February 2015 as a follow-up to the first such meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, one year earlier. The meeting aimed to review the progress on implementing the agreements made at the previous meeting, and to determine further steps for each country in finalizing its stakeholder mapping system.
