The Scaling Up Nutrition Program is a cross-ministry and multi-donor program to reduce stunting in Zambia through implementation of the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) 1,000 Most Critical Days Program. The first phase, referred to as SUN 1.0 was funded by several donor organizations and significant lessons were learned regarding coordination and implementation. Attachment 1 provides additional reference materials as it relates to SUN 1.0.

Armed with these lessons, the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) and cooperating partners are currently embarking on the next phase, SUN 2.0.

The SUN 2.0 has three major components:

1. Pooled Multi-Donor Fund [managed by DfID and funded by several cooperating partners];
2. SUN Technical Assistance (SUN TA) [funded by USAID]; and,
3. SUN Learning and Evaluation [funded by USAID].

This activity is component 2 of SUN 2.0, SUN TA. This component must enhance the management and implementation of the Pooled Fund by providing high-level technical assistance including support for planning, implementation and monitoring at the district and sub-district levels.
