The Japan Trust Fund for Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Investments is a three-phased program to scale up nutrition investments and provide the framework for a sustained partnership between the Government of Japan and the World Bank to address malnutrition.
Launched in 2009, Phase I (Initiation), supported by a US$ 2 million financial commitment from the Government of Japan, financed catalytic country-level activities to lay the foundation for the development of new country nutrition plans, lending projects and IDA investments in select countries, as well as to stimulate the set-up of the SUN movement.
The Trust Fund, currently in Phase II (Consolidation), with a financial commitment of US$20 million from the Government of Japan over a four-year period aims to:
Both phases II and III (Institutionalization) will support countries with costed scale-up and implementation plans as well as other relevant analytics that support and improve the quality of IDA investments. The Japan Trust Fund will also strengthen in-country capacity to implement nutrition programs, knowledge sharing and developing information systems to monitor and evaluate the impact of nutrition investments.
