implementation of national nutrition plans. Of the 25 govern- ments, 15 committed to increase the domestic resources in- vested in scaling up national nutrition plans and 12 announced national stunting reduction targets (some made both types of commitments). Of the 25 countries being tracked, 24 respond- ed by the deadline.
N4G commitments were classified into the following cate- gories: impact/outcome commitments (related to, for example, WHA targets such as exclusive breastfeeding, stunting, or acute malnutrition rates), financial commitments, policy commitments, and program commitments. Table 8.2 shows whether the 25 countries are on or off course based on their reported progress against these targets.
For the 24 countries that responded, many are on course, particularly for policy commitments. For the impact commit- ments, it is difficult to draw meaningful comparisons with countries’ baseline data because few new datasets have been collected. In cases where new data are available, two countries

Note: On course = progress made is on course for meeting the N4G commitment. Off course = not enough progress has been made toward the N4G commitment. None = no N4G commitment was made. Not clear = the commitment was too vague to assess whether the commitment was met, or the reported evidence on progress was too vague or only partially reported. No response = country did not respond to requests for information.

are on course and two are off course. For financial commit- ments, three countries are on course and one is off course, with the rest of the commitments and responses being too vague to determine.
Civil society organization commitments
Civil society organizations made financial commitments and policy/program commitments, and this report tracked both. Of the 15 civil society organizations approached, 14 respond- ed. Most have made some progress on their commitments (Table 8.3). The financial commitments from civil society orga- nizations are categorized as nutrition-specific investments, nutrition-sensitive investments, or both. A significant proportion of investment in nutrition-sensitive work is focused on linkages between nutrition and agriculture. Many of the policy/program progress updates provided by civil society organizations focus on specific countries and target groups being covered. This detailed information provides a rich picture of the reach that civil society organizations have within their programs and within countries.
