Summary
The Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), under the leadership of the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement Secretariat is seeking longterm strategies to reduce the burden of malnutrition across the country. The Fill the Nutrient Gap analysis (FNG) was conducted in 2018-19 to build a deeper understanding of the structural barriers to accessing healthy diets and identify opportunities across the food system to improve nutrition. FNG analysis contributes to FGS’ efforts to address food insecurity, and high rates of acute and chronic malnutrition, and leads the country towards a path of sustainable development.
