Plenary sessions featured interactive discussions among high-level representatives and Global Gathering participants on topics that are critical to the Movement’s progress. Five parallel workshop sessions and 25 workshops were held throughout the program, each providing opportunities for participants from SUN countries and the Movement’s support system to share and learn from one another to better scale up nutrition.

The SUN Movement is a global movement but is led by individual country governments. It aims to scale up nutrition action especially in the first 1000 days through the engagement of stakeholders from government organizations, non-government organizations, business community, academe, donors and UN agencies, among others. The Philippines has been a part of the movement since 2014.
