SBN – Is the Scaling Up Nutrition Business Network. The SUN movement was established by the mandate of the United Nations to mobilize and intensify the businesses efforts with the aim of contributing to the accessibility of the people’s right to safer and nutritious diets. In Mozambique, the SBNMOZ is established with the mandate of improving and strengthening the Private Sector’s contribution to improving nutrition. In that context, the network is co-facilitated by GAIN and WFP and, operationally, coordinated by a Secretariat.
The Network aims to, on one hand, create and stimulate synergies amongst their associates to improve the business environment through initiatives that improve and amplify their productivity abilities or the creation of new market opportunities. On the other hand, the network is established as an advocacy mechanism in favour of the Private Sector in relation to the different factors that pre-empt businesses (legal, regulatory, among others).
At a global level, the SBN comprises more than 300 enterprises (57 of which are associated with the Network in Mozambique) from multinationals to local enterprises, committed to boost the nutrition agenda through the adoption of commercial and corporate responsibility models.
