There are 4 key resources available for you to use – please see details below.

1. Breaking nutrition out of the echo chamber

Weber shandwick and Saatchi have developed materials for us to use. Please do test these out and let us know your thoughts. More materials will be developed and added in due course so do keep checking the site. http://www.nutritionspace.org/

The Communications Outreach Guide is most relevant for N4G - I've saved an open to download copy here too in the event the website version is not easy to download: dropbox.com/s/ljv6nldh87wb2d4/N4G%20II%20Rio_Communications%20Outreach%20Guide_FINAL.docx?dl=0

This includes some details on the N4G event taking place in Rio on Thursday 4th August and an opportunity to begin using the new narrative and #ActOnNutrition platform. In addition, a briefing document, key messages, sample social media content with accompanying imagery and guidance for use and creative assets designed to galvanise decision and policy-makers into prioritizing nutrition.

Film – this is being finalized and will be available from 4th August.
