UNOPS invites interested and eligible applicants to join an exceptional 2022 application exercise related to the Scaling up Nutrition (SUN) Pooled Fund 2.0 extension period covering the period of July – December 2022.
The SUN Movement has successfully brought together governments, United Nations agencies, businesses, donors, civil society organizations and individuals in a collective mission in 65 countries and 4 Indian States to uphold the right to good food and nutrition. It has also helped to illuminate the importance of nutrition in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The SUN Movement continues to work with countries with the belief that Nutrition is both a maker and a marker of development. Improved nutrition is the platform for progress in health, education, employment, empowerment of women and the reduction of poverty and inequality, and can lay the foundation for peaceful, secure and stable societies.
