HISTORY OF THE LEADERSHIP AGENDA |
| Developing the Leadership Agenda for Action |
| |
In February 2008, the Coalition for Sustainable Nutrition Security in India requested an Expert Task Forces to review nutrition security in India in order to
- Highlight the urgent need to address high levels of malnutrition in India
- Develop recommendations for priority actions based on evidence and programming experience
- Help build awareness, capacity and commitment among policy and programme leaders for implementation of the recommendations.
|
| |
| The Coalition took the following approach to prepare the paper: |
- Inviting recognised experts representing a wide range of groups and different perspectives to contribute as Task Force members
- Reviewing the evidence and literature about how to improve nutrition security
- Considering the available platform of a large number of Government schemes and programmes directly or indirectly related to nutrition
- Evaluating and prioritising the best opportunities available to improve nutrition security
- Seeking Task Force member agreement on the key recommendations to improve nutrition security

The Coalition requested USAID to support a Secretariat, which provided administrative and logistical support to the Task Force. Following a participatory drafting and review process, the Expert Task Force submitted its recommendations to reduce malnutrition to the Coalition. The Coalition reviewed and endorsed this Leadership Agenda for Action in September 2008.
