United Nations System Standing Committee on Nutrition

The United Nations System Standing Committee on Nutrition (SCN) is a global body that brings together UN agencies, governments, and partners to improve nutrition worldwide. Its main goal is to promote coordinated efforts to reduce malnutrition and ensure everyone has access to healthy, sufficient food. The SCN develops guidelines, shares knowledge, and advocates for policies that support better nutrition, especially for vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women. It plays a key role in informing international strategies, fostering collaboration, and tracking progress toward ending hunger and malnutrition globally.
