By the Agile Core Team for Nutrition Monitoring (ACT-NM)

The Agile Core Team for Nutrition Monitoring’s (ACT-NM) Analytical Framework is a new multi- sectoral tool that can better prepare policymakers and implementers to mitigate the impact of shocks on nutrition outcomes.

While the impact of the pandemic continues to resonate, it also provides an opportunity to focus on lessons learned and prepare for future shocks to global systems, especially those that impact nutrition.
