Syntheses (February 2025)

• Global Synthesis :

Feedback from 346 nutrition dialogues that took place in 2024, involving more than 10,000 people in 54 countries, has been posted on the nutrition dialogues portal. This data forms the basis of the global synthesis containing an analysis of nutrition dialogues and a presentation of implications for the design and implementation of actions for nutrition.

• • The Global Synthesis Summary is available in English, French and Spanish. 
  • The Full version of the Global Synthesis provides more details of the nutrition dialogues and quotes from their participants.
  • A Child Friendly version of the Global Synthesis Summary is available in English, French and Spanish.
    
  • The headline version of the Global Synthesis Summary is available in English, French and Spanish.

Official Feedback

Convenors share the outcomes of their Dialogues on this online Portal using a standardized Feedback Form. These become publicly available for analysis and learning. The Feedback Forms include information about:

• Who participated in the Dialogue? (Quantitative data to indicate the diversity of participants)
• How was the Dialogue framed? What was discussed? (Describing the local context)
• What were the Dialogue outcomes?
• Which nutrition challenges are faced? What actions are urgently needed and how should these be taken forward?
• To what extent did views, opinions and positions diverge?
• Which Principles and methods were used? (Describing the Dialogue method)

Outcomes from all Nutrition Dialogues that have been reported by the end of 2024 will be synthesised in advance of N4G 2025. The synthesis report will highlight the nutrition-related challenges faced by women and children. Preparation of the synthesis will involve several steps for data coding, analysis and identification of the patterns and themes across the Dialogues (and, possibly, per country). A standardised approach will be used to code qualitative data in order to enable quantitative analysis. It will spell out key messages from the Nutrition Dialogues – especially the perspectives of women and children about issues they face with maintaining their and their children’s nutrition.

The key messages will encourage greater attention to improvements in women’s and children’s nutrition by decision-makers. They will prompt all nutrition stakeholders to be more ambitious, effective and accountable.

In summary, outcomes from Nutrition Dialogues will:

• Develop powerful messages for decision makers
• Generate greater political attention to people’s nutrition needs
• Contribute to policy changes for better nutrition
• Encourage more ambitious and effective action for nutrition, and increase accountability for action that is taken.
