V4CP supporting systems change on stunting and nutrition in Indonesia (Story of Change)

The Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV) leads the Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) in collaboration with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and in partnership with the Dutch Directorate-General for International Cooperation (DGIS).

V4CP is working with 51 locally-based civil society organisations (CSOs) around the world to bridge the gap between the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their implementation within society, especially amongst low-income and marginalised communities. It does so by strengthening the capacity of CSOs to influence stakeholders and decision-makers with solid and contextualised evidence in order to get the interests of communities embedded into government and business policies and practices.

This story illustrates the value of gathering solid evidence to support advocacy and how working collaboratively can amplify voices for change. In this case the V4CP’s CSOs coordinated dialogue across a variety of stakeholders to tackle stunting, one of the health impacts of poor nutrition. Watch the video to find out more.
