    Call for EOI – Good Food for Cities Advocacy Strategy Development

    Introduction and Background

    The Food Rights Alliance (FRA), in partnership with Rikolto, is implementing the 5-year Good Food for Cities (GF4Cs) project in Mbale and Kampala. This initiative aims to promote sustainable, equitable, and healthy food systems in city regions by supporting policy and practice changes. The GF4Cs project adopts a food systems approach to deliver co-benefits in human health, regenerative and low-carbon food systems, and a fair share for all actors in the food chain, including smallholder farmers. Through this approach, the project seeks to build local coalitions of businesses, consumers, local authorities, and other food system actors to transform urban food environments. This transformation aims to improve the consumption of healthy, sustainable, and nutritious food by all citizens, utilizing a 3-tier approach that encompasses production, inclusive markets, and an enabling environment.

    FRA contributes to Result 3, which focuses on creating an enabling policy, financial, and normative environment at local, national, and international levels to incentivize healthy, sustainable, and nutritious diets in East African cities. To achieve this, FRA intends to develop an Advocacy Strategy that defines and mainstreams policy advocacy interventions, messages, and outcomes. The strategy aims to enhance sustainable, healthy, and nutritious diets in Mbale and Kampala cities. It will serve as a guiding framework to clarify FRA’s audience for change and inform strategic advocacy efforts.

    About the SUN Civil Society Network (SUNCSN) Uganda

    The SUN CSN was established to support the formation and evolution of Civil Society Alliances in SUN countries, as well as facilitate communication and coordination across SUN CSAs, and with the broader SUN Movement. The primary purpose of the Network is to encourage the alignment of Civil Society Organizations’ (CSO) strategies, programmes, and resources with country plans for scaling up nutrition. The CSN seeks to achieve this through strengthening the support available for and capacity of national Civil Society Alliances (CSA). It is responsible for encouraging effective engagement from civil society in the SUN process at national and global levels and supports CSAs in SUN countries to advocate for the development of ambitious plans. It also contributes to the implementation, and rolling out of national costed plans and monitoring the delivery of those plans.

    At this inception phase, efforts are rendered to institutionalize the Network and develop a Strategy as required by the SUN movement guideline. This will give the network legitimacy to engage in formal and informal processes on scaling up nutrition. The institutionalization shall further mitigate the network from previous experiences where the network was broken down as the leadership disintegrated for various reasons.
