Context and Objectives
This commitment aims to increase public participation and oversight of nutrition security policy, address difficulties faced by public servants and civil society, and promote intersectoral solutions. Participants in the consultation stages voiced a need for increased civic participation in the monitoring of nutrition security policies and the promotion of national and subnational collaboration. [27] Academic analysis supports civic participation in nutrition security plans and has linked it to improvements in such plans. [28] It should also be noted that the Nutrition Security Councils—participatory councils mandated by law—have been linked to an increase in nutrition public service delivery. [29]
Academics echo a need to increase public participation in the creation and implementation of nutrition security policies across the country. [30] One municipal employee from Rio de Janeiro argues that nutrition security policies, particularly those at subnational levels, are struggling to sustain previous levels of civil society and government collaboration. [31]
This commitment proposes raising awareness around Food and Nutrition Security (SAN) and the Human Right to Adequate Food (DHAA) policies through seminars (Milestone 4.3) and through the design and implementation of distance learning courses (4.1, 4.4−4.6). Additionally, it seeks to create a converging agenda for the development of training related SAN and DHAA through the National Council for Food and Nutrition Security (CONSEA) (4.2). Made up of civil society and government representatives on a two-to-one ratio, respectively, CONSEA provides an institutional space that inherently requires and yields significant influence to civic participation in the creation of this agenda. [32]
The commitment is verifiable, and its milestones promote increased awareness of nutrition security policy. However, the commitment has a minor potential impact. It focuses on the creation and strengthening of capacity building programs, and it does not measure how this focus will increase citizen engagement and oversight of the country’s nutrition security policy.
Next steps
If fully implemented, the commitment does not need to be included in the next action plan. The commitment’s potential impact could be magnified by ensuring that civic participation is prioritized through its multiple activities, as it is the case for Milestone 4.2. The distance learning courses, for instance, could be designed and delivered in collaboration with civil society and could be targeted to broader audiences. Additionally, there is an opportunity to promote and support best practices for civil society and government to collaborate in the design and delivery of policies. Too, getting the right actors and a sufficient number of them is critical. So there must be adequate proactive outreach to ensure sufficient participation.
