Launch of Nutrition Accountability Framework
The Nutrition Accountability Framework (NAF), developed by the Global Nutrition Report (GNR), creates the world’s first independent and comprehensive platform for registering SMART nutrition commitments and monitoring nutrition action. It helps inform, shape and inspire strong commitments for nutrition through comprehensive methods for qualifying, classifying and reporting on nutrition action, and monitoring how action translates to impact. The NAF will encourage stakeholders to improve and take more action each year, highlighting success stories and providing an equal opportunity for all stakeholders to be recognized for their actions.
As you prepare commitments for this year, make sure to sign up for an account to access the NAF platform. After submitting your commitment, you will be given the opportunity to revise or refine it with support from a member of the Independent Expert Group. No commitments will be made public at this stage and we will alert you before they are made publicly available. Please reach out to the GNR team at naf@globalnutrition.co.uk if you have any questions.
