Strengthening domestic resource mobilisation and donor coordination. 

Our guest: Gladys Mugambi, Kenya

Gladys is Head of the Directorate of Health Promotion and Education in Kenya's Ministry of Health and Co-Chair of the global SUN Movement Executive Committee. In this conversation, Gladys explains how different interventions within Kenya´s multisectoral approach has led to progress in relation to key national nutrition targets. She highlights on-going challenges including the need to increase domestics resource allocations, further strengthen coordination across sectors, and the need for a greater focus on the promotion of healthy diets.

The critical role of civil society organisations in advocating for these and other constraints to be addressed is recognised. As with Sisay in the previous episode, Gladys identifies the need for international donors to further strengthen coordination between each other and with the Kenyan Government. She argues that the key priority for the global SUN Movement is to help countries to strengthen their capacities to mobilise the resources required.
