CHAPTER 8 1 Appendix 5 describes how the report attempts to promote account- ability in nutrition (including its own accountability) at each step in the cycle.
2 We will expand the number of independent reviewers for the 2015 Global Nutrition Report.
3 The SUN Business Network reports that the private sector is making more commitments above and beyond the N4G commitments. To date, companies have committed to improved nutrition interven- tions by 2020 for a significant number of consumers in developing and emerging markets. For more information, see the SUN Business Network website at
www.sunbusinessnetwork.org.
4 It is necessary to have one small team focusing on engaging and following up with signatories and their responses to ensure compre- hensive information. Given the 2014 timelines, this year too many individuals and organizations were involved in following up with organizations, resulting in a rather chaotic process. It is important to record the contact point and their departmental location in each organization. Too often the individuals responsible for signing off on commitments had moved on, and their successors either felt less obligation to deliver on the commitment or did not understand how it was to be delivered or reported on. The reporting templates
need to be simplified, with more context and guidance provided on why and how to complete them. There is a need to develop an online platform for signatories to record their progress and make self-assessments in addition to independent assessments. This will reduce transactions costs and errors and promote transparency, peer pressure, and learning. Finally, there is a need to formalize the sim- ple qualitative traffic light system used in this report to signal who is making progress and who is not. The Independent Expert Group will develop procedures for this for the 2015 Global Nutrition Report.
CHAPTER 9 1 This information appears in Appendix 6.
2 For example, the commitment to reduce hunger was found to be only loosely correlated with the commitment to improve nutrition status. See the HANCI website at
www.hancindex.org.
3 The New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and its development partners have supported 50 African countries in mainstreaming nutrition considerations in their national agricul- ture investment plans using a multisectoral approach, as part of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). This is a good example of investing in data capacity to identify accountability.
