ASSESSMENT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTION ACTIVITIE 2020
The National Information Platforms for Nutrition (NIPN) is a four-year project of the Government of Uganda, supported by the European Union. NIPN facilitates multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder dialogue on nutrition and supports the use of existing information and data to develop or refine policies and programmes to address malnutrition. Implemented by the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) in partnership with the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) and with technical support from UNICEF, NIPN contributes to strengthening national capacity of ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to manage and analyse nutrition information and data from all sectors for evidence-informed decision making. This project is engaged in the establishment of a central nutrition data repository and dashboard within the OPM. The project ensures that nutrition data and information is used to inform the strategic decisions and policies to address malnutrition and its consequences. NIPN in Uganda seeks to enhance a multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder dialogue on nutrition and the use of existing information and data to improve or refine policies and programmes.
