Abstract

The United Nations plays an important role in supporting governments to implement nutrition policies and accelerate progress. The development of a common UN nutrition agenda and joint programming are two crucial aspects to improve complementarities and synergies to maximize the nutritional impact. The objective was to identify the success factors and challenges during the planning process of the UN common nutrition agenda in three different contexts. This is a qualitative study, conducted in Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal between 2016 and 2018. The data was collected using an orientation kit developed by the UN Network which includes an inventory of UN nutrition actions, individual interviews, and consensus workshops. A total of 32 nutrition focal points from UN agencies participated in the study. In all countries, UN nutrition interventions were concentrated in areas with the highest number of stunted. Most of these actions were aligned with the priorities of nutrition policies and were complementary. Governance actions were mainly oriented towards sector governance. Key success of joint nutrition programming by UN includes commitment of country director and technicians, functional UN Network, participation of field-level stakeholders and strengthening of information between UN agencies. Certain prerequisites such as the existence of nutrition policy, stakeholder and action mapping, inventory of UN nutrition actions, situation analysis contributed to the formulation of a common nutrition agenda at country level. Among the challenges, we note effective implementation of joint programs to strengthen complementarity; diversity of beneficiary targeting strategies between sectors; low mobilization of resources; lack of coordination intra and inter agencies; understaffing; strengthening partnership and multisectoral accountability; ownership of the common nutrition agenda by all agencies. The development of common nutrition agenda and joint programs would maximize the nutritional impact in the country level.

联合国加强营养联合计划编制的有利环境和挑战:布基纳法索、马里和塞内加尔多国调查。
联合国在支持各国政府实施营养政策和加快进展方面发挥着重要作用。制定联合国共同营养议程和联合计划编制是改善互补性和协同作用以最大限度地发挥营养影响的两个关键方面。本研究的目的是确定在三种不同情况下联合国共同营养议程规划过程中的成功因素和挑战。这是一项定性研究,于 2016 年至 2018 年期间在布基纳法索、马里和塞内加尔进行。数据收集采用了联合国网络开发的定向工具包,其中包括联合国营养行动清单、个人访谈和共识研讨会。共有 32 名来自联合国机构的营养协调人参与了研究。在所有国家,联合国营养干预措施都集中在发育迟缓儿童数量最多的地区。这些行动大多与营养政策的优先事项相一致,具有互补性。治理行动主要面向部门治理。联合国联合营养计划编制工作取得成功的关键因素包括国家主任和技术人员的承诺、运作良好的联合国网络、总部外利益攸关方的参与以及联合国机构间信息的加强。某些先决条件,如营养政策的存在、利益攸关方和行动图、联合国营养行动清单、形势分析等,有助于在国家一级制定共同的营养议程。在面临的挑战中,我们注意到有效实施联合计划以加强互补性;各部门的受益对象战略各不相同;资源调动率低;机构内部和机构间缺乏协调;人员不足;加强伙伴关系和多部门问责制;所有机构对共同营养议程的自主权。制定共同营养议程和联合计划将在国家一级产生最大的营养影响。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
