Civil Society Scaling-up Nutrition is demanding that political parties include the aspect of nutrition in their manifestos.
CSO-SUN Acting Country Director Eneya Phiri says all political parties should lay emphasis on the aspect of nutrition in their manifestos.
Mr. Phiri says the Civil Society Scaling up Nutrition (CSO-SUN) has been exploring how political parties can effectively contribute to improving nutrition in the country.
He says issues around nutrition are of great concern and need to be addressed holistically.
Mr. Phiri says CSO-SUN and the various political parties recently agreed that issues of nutrition required a collective response, adding that tangible commitments to nutrition are needed as a matter of urgency.
He says it is for this reason that political parties contesting the August 11th elections should include nutrition issues in their various political messages and manifestos to guarantee children a good future.
