The Programme Window

Coordinating investments for high-impact nutrition actions

Page

The Programme Window coordinates global investments, ensuring that high-impact nutrition actions are effectively funded and implemented for maximum impact. It provides vital support to countries with limited financial resources without requiring additional domestic funding commitments, enabling them to address undernutrition effectively. The Window also includes leveraging parallel financing, where CNF investments complement government contributions, scaling up services and accountability for nutrition outcomes.

This success shows the power of strong partnerships, data-driven planning, and flexible, country-specific funding. Early government and community engagement helped overcome barriers and tailor responses, while integrated services and operational research strengthened local systems.
