Government of Indonesia (GoI) has signed the global
SUN (Scaling up Nutrition) movement on December 2011. SUN is a unique Movement
founded on the principle that all people have a right to food and good
nutrition. It unites people -from governments, civil society organizations
(CSO), the United Nations and donors, businesses and researchers/academia- in a
collective effort to improve nutrition. GoI commitment to SUN movement pointed
out in the established SUN Multi-Stakeholder Platforms
(MSPs) under coordination and leadership of BAPPENAS, the National Planning Agency (BAPPENAS) as SUN Focal
Point. BAPPENAS also has been spearheading the movement in the country. GOI’s
National Strategy to Accelerate Stunting Prevention 2019-2024 (STRANAS) aims to
ensure that relevant stakeholders and sectors collaborate to achieve the same
objective of stunting prevention and reduction in Indonesia. The established of
SUN CSO platforms namely SUN Civil Society Alliance (CSA) has a key role to
play to push the nutrition agenda forward as well as to hold Governments and
donor countries accountable for the realization of their commitment to SUN. SUN
CSA also encouraged to strengthen its representativeness, broaden their
participation to engage all stakeholders, as well as establish its
accountability and capacity, in order to effectively prevent stunting in the
country. SUN CSA under
UNOPs Pool Fund supported project, Nutrition International (NI) as SUN CSA
coordinator has worked to coordinate and build capacity of CSOs as members of
CSA to contribute to multi-stakeholders and multi-sectoral nutrition action
plans, and better mobilizing domestic resources to finance the stunting
prevention activities. SUN CSA also has helped to form two local SUN CSA in
Central Java and East Java Provinces. There are about 60 local CSOs members of
these two provincial CSA that have been legally acknowledged as members of the
SUN MSPs and will continue to engage in local SUN movements and expand
cooperation with others MSPs (such as business, donor and academia networks)
for stunting prevention movement within their provinces and districts. These
local CSAs has the aim to amplify the voices of communities affected by the
double burden of malnutrition and focus on the need for greater accountability
to them. SUN CSA influence both on policy at national and local level may have
been determinant in strengthening the voice of nutrition advocates at country
level and in giving more nutrition focus to food and agriculture policies that
were being designed as well as, to some extent, to resource allocations by
donors and governments.
However,
since these two local SUN CSAs were just established or under process of
establishment, they required support to strengthen, institutionalize and
solidify collaborative mode of their network. Their capacity to perform
cross-network cooperation, particularly with local SUN Business as well as
cooperation with local academia for knowledge transfer also
need to be strengthened. They should also be able to access relevant local
fora, policy meetings and discussions, as well as to all relevant local
information on nutrition activities, spending and progress. NI will extend its technical and financial
support to SUN CSA SUN CSA East Java Province to strengthen the
organizational capacity of these newly established local CSOs network. NI is
seeking event agency to organize and facilitate meetings and deliberative
discussions to strengthen East Java SUN CSA.
