The objective of the tool is to ensure that the SDGs related to nutrition are well-integrated in national development plans, policies, and strategies. The tool provides a general overview of what the SDGs are and why they are important for nutrition. It also:

• Introduces the different steps that can be taken to influence government’s policies and plans.
• Provides ready-to-use key messages that can be used by advocates for dissemination to make sure that nutrition is well-reflected in their government’s development priorities, as well as some specific messages for each SDG relevant for nutrition.
• Presents supplementary information in annexes, including a table with additional nutrition-related targets and indicators and another table with information on the national development plans in a select group of countries.

This toolkit was originally developed by Action Against Hunger for its missions and has been adopted by SUN Civil Society Network.
