About Us
The Nutrition Partners Forum (NPF) is a multi-partner and multisector working group established in May 2011 to address the need for coordinated and collaborative efforts to support the Government of Mozambique (GoM) in prioritizing nutrition in the development agenda of the country. The NPF was established soon after Mozambique’s commitment to the SUN Movement agenda in 2011.
Our main objectives:
The Forum’s objective is to foster coordination and harmonization among partners contributing to food and nutrition security in Mozambique, whilst also enhancing alignment with the Government of Mozambique’s (GoM) priority plans, policies and strategies in these areas.
The NPF is comprised of different stakeholders representing UN agencies, donors, civil society, and is part of the global Scaling-up-Nutrition (SUN) Movement aimed at uniting national leaders, civil society, UN agencies, donors, businesses and researchers in a collective effort to improve nutrition, as well as the individual platforms these constituencies represent.
