It facilitates a process to help UN Agencies and other partners agree on country priority actions, align targeting strategies and implement actions that complement each other. REACH is focusing on strengthening government capacity to scale-up nutrition actions and improve nutrition management and governance, and on supporting nutrition sensitive, multi-sectoral approaches.
