THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

1

Preparatory and analytical work is conducted by the UN agencies to develop a common picture on where each country is vis-a-vis the GAP framework.

2

In-country discussions between national governments and UN counterparts take place regarding the initial analytical work coupled with the review of national strategies and initiatives that impact child wasting.

3

UN agencies support national governments to identify a core set of ambitious yet feasible priority actions, as well as the support needed from UN agencies, civil society, donors, academics and private sector partners to achieve these.
