In April 2010, the World Bank and the IMF released a policy briefing entitled "Scaling up Nutrition (SUN): A Framework for action" that represented a partnered effort to address the Lancet's Series on under nutrition, and the goals it set out for improving under nutrition.<ref name="SUN">{{cite journal | vauthors=Nabarro D | title=Global child and maternal nutrition--the SUN rises | journal=Lancet | volume=382 | issue=9893 | pages=666–7 | date=August 2013 | pmid=23746773 | doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(13)61086-7 | s2cid=34484370}}</ref> They emphasized the 1000 days after birth as the prime window for effective nutrition intervention, encouraging programming that was cost-effective and showed significant cognitive improvement in populations, as well as enhanced productivity and economic growth.<ref name="SUN" /> This document was labeled the SUN framework, and was launched by the [[UN General Assembly]] in 2010 as a road map encouraging the coherence of stakeholders like governments, [[academia]], UN system organizations and foundations in working towards reducing under nutrition.<ref name="SUN" /> The SUN framework has initiated a transformation in global nutrition- calling for country-based nutrition programs, increasing evidence based and cost–effective interventions, and "integrating nutrition within national strategies for [[gender equality]], agriculture, [[food security]], [[social protection]], education, water supply, sanitation, and health care".<ref name="SUN" /> Government often plays a role in implementing nutrition programs through policy. For instance, several East Asian nations have enacted legislation to increase iodization of salt to increase household consumption.<ref name="Progress for Children" /> Political commitment in the form of evidence-based effective national policies and programs, trained skilled community nutrition workers, and effective communication and advocacy can all work to decrease malnutrition.<ref name="IMPROVING CHILD NUTRITION" /> Market and industrial production can play a role as well. For example, in the [[Philippines]], improved production and market availability of iodized salt increased household consumption.<ref name="Progress for Children" /> While most nutrition interventions are delivered directly through governments and health services, other sectors, such as agriculture, water and sanitation, and education, are vital for nutrition promotion as well.<ref name="Essential Nutrition Actions" />
