Optimizing the Multisectoral Nutrition Policy Cycle

What is it about?

This introductory paper to a supplement on nutrition policy and governance offers an overview of the current state of evidence and thinking on the multisectoral nutrition policy cycle. It also explores the benefits of applying a systems lens to understand the processes of the policy cycle—from research, to knowledge, to action—and provides more dynamic and accurate information for nutrition advocacy and evidence-based decision-making. It concludes with key findings from the 5 country-level studies included in the supplement.
