United Nations World Food Programme

Background

The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Business Network is the world’s leading private
sector initiative focused on nutrition. Since 2010, the SUN Movement has
inspired a new way of working collaboratively to end malnutrition, in all its
forms. With the governments of 61 SUN countries in the lead, it unites people
– from civil society, the United Nations, donors, businesses, and researchers
– in a collective effort to improve nutrition. The SUN Business Network (SBN)
is the private sector branch of the SUN Movement and aims to support
businesses in growing the role they play in improving nutrition and to support
SUN countries in developing national business engagement strategies.

In Zambia, the SBN, through its strategic plan, aims to increase nutrition
awareness and demand for nutritious food, increase the supply of nutritious
foods and to improve the nutrition regulatory environment for improving
nutrition distribution partnerships; and to create a more enabling environment
for improving nutrition.

One of the key initiatives of the SBN is the launch of the Good Food Logo. The
SBN has supported the National Food and Nutrition Commission (NFNC) and the
Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZABS) to develop the Good Food Logo, a
certification mark, placed on the front of food products that meet a set of
nutrition criteria. The objective of the Good Food Logo is to support
consumers to make more informed purchasing decisions and motivate the private
sector to develop and/or reformulate products to fit within the nutrition
criteria.

The SBN seeks to raise public awareness on the GFL through promotional
activities being implemented using different media (tv, radio, social media)
and community awareness to ensure consumers can identify the logo on the
certified food products on shelves in retail outlets and open markets. The GFL
on packaging will help consumers identify more nutritious food options that
can be consumed as part of a healthy diet.
