Dear all,

Please find hereby a contribution from the GIZ Global Programm "Food and Nutrition Security, Enhanced Resilience". We draw on our work and 10 years of experience on nutrition governance. Even though the framework we used was developed for nutrition governance, we feel that it can be very well applied to an agrifood systems approach, in that the four mechanisms can be transferred to agrifood systems governance. Specifically, the “multisectoral” aspects are very close to the “holistic” concept of agrifood systems. In the same way, many of the challenges (and strategies to face them) from our experience refer to health/nutrition outcomes but can equally be transferred to a holistic agrifood systems lens. 

More details on this are enclosed in our submitted template, while our 2020 Nutrition Governance Study can be found here: giz2021-en-nutrition-resilience-governance-study-synthesis-report.pdf
