#Day1: Our Executive Director, Ms. @kiraboaggie, is participating in the SUN Civil Society Network Eastern & Southern Africa Regional Meeting held in Gaborone, Botswana under the theme “Strengthening Accountable Food Systems for Nutrition Security.” Key takeaways from the meeting included a strong focus on enhancing accountability for the #N4G commitments made earlier in 2025 in Paris. It was inspiring to engage with a strong regional network, sharing successes and practical strategies to overcome common barriers. Together, we reaffirmed our commitment to move from promises to action. #SUNCSN #SUNCSNUganda #NutritionForGrowth #N4G #FoodSystems #NutritionSecurity #Accountability #CivilSociety #RegionalCollaboration
