Since 2013, the Government and its partners have been organizing the National Nutrition Forum, which is a platform that brings together all nutrition stakeholders in the country. This forum is the highest level of engagement on nutrition by all stakeholders. Every two and a half years, the forum is convened and presided over by the Right Honourable Prime Minister to assess the implementation of Uganda Nutrition Action Plan. The forum brings together all heads of government departments and agencies, ambassadors, development partners, the private sector, civil society organizations, and academia.
The forum avails opportunity for local, national and international delegates from across various sectors to come together and consolidate efforts to promote compelling and evidence-based agendas that strengthen the
resilience of people in the face of rising economic issues, climate change, food insecurity, among other things and to discuss agendas that unlock the full potential of nutrition for the country's population, especially the children.
