About the project
My project explores and analyzes how state and non-state, public and private actors, influence the way in which malnutrition is understood, promoted and governed at the global level and in Tanzania.
This is done through a case study of a global public-private partnership called “The Scaling Up Nutrition Movement” (SUN) which seeks to reduce undernutrition among children in countries with high burdens of malnutrition.
The project explores the interaction of different norms, ideas and interests expressed through the partnership and how these interactions shape relations of power, authority and legitimacy within nutrition governance at the global level, and in Tanzania.
The study draws on international relations and public health policy research, and is based on:
- In-depth interviews with actors involved in SUN,
- Participant observation at SUN events and at nutrition conferences,
- A literature study.
