18. Supporting global impact Together, countries and supporting stakeholders are collectively working to reach the global targets set out by the World Health Assembly 2012 Resolution: • 40% reduction of the global number of children under 5 who are stunted Target 1: • 50% reduction of anemia in women of reproductive age Target 2: Target 3: • 30% reduction of low birth weight • Increase exclusive breastfeeding rates in the first 6 months up to at least 50% Target 4: Target 5: • No increase in childhood overweight Target 6: • Reducing and maintaining childhood wasting to less than 5%

19. SUN principlesof engagement Be transparent about impact: all stakeholders to transparently and honestly demonstrate the impact of collective action. Be inclusive: through open multi-stakeholder partnerships that bring proven solutions and interventions to scale. act in line with a commitment to uphold the equity and rights of all women, men and their children.

Be mutually accountable: act so all stakeholders feel responsible for and are held collectively accountable to the joint commitments. Be cost effective: establish priorities on evidenced-based analysis of what will have the greatest and most sustainable impact for the least cost. to learn and adapt through regular sharing of the relevant critical lessons, what works and what does not, across sectors, countries and stakeholders. Be continuously communicative:
