Abstract
The document outlines a nutrition advocacy planning process that engages national stakeholders to promote accountability for nutrition and strengthen nutrition governance. The process involves three key elements: nutrition advocacy plan and material development, PROFILES (a spreadsheet-based tool that calculates the consequences of malnutrition and the benefits of improved nutrition), and nutrition costing (estimating the costs of implementing nutrition programs or interventions). The brief provides an overview of the advocacy planning process, the role of PROFILES and nutrition costing, and an illustrative timeline for implementation.
