Development Aid: Nutrition

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what (a) accountability and (b) reporting arrangements his Department has put in place to monitor progress against the Global Nutrition Integration Compact.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The Global Compact on Nutrition Integration relies on existing accountability and reporting mechanisms with regards to the integration commitments of its members, notably the Global Nutrition Report's (GNR) Nutrition Accountability Framework (NAF). Accountability for nutrition integration therefore rests with each individual organisation. Compact members, including the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), are responsible for reporting progress against their commitments listed in the NAF, with the GNR monitoring overall progress.

In addition, FCDO reports information on nutrition integration across its programmes in the annual Nutrition Accountability Report, this is published on the GNR website.
