Landscape analysis on countries' readiness to accelerate action in nutrition

The "Landscape analysis" is a WHO-led interagency initiative that has developed a readiness analysis of countries to accelerate actions in nutrition. It aims to identify gaps, constraints and opportunities for integrating new and existing effective nutrition actions and implement them at scale.

This issue of SCN News features papers that describe the methodology and country assessments undertaken in five countries that are part of the 36 high-burden countries (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guatemala, Madagascar, Peru and South Africa). It examines how existing commitment ("willingness to act") and capacity ("ability to act") at country level can be utilised to scale-up evidence-based nutrition interventions and to further strengthen weak areas
