Membership
The mandate and responsibility of the UNSCN falls within the UN system. The five UN agencies, FAO, IFAD, UNICEF, WFP and WHO, with an explicit mandate to improve nutrition levels in the world, are members of UNSCN. However, membership to UNSCN is open to all UN agencies that have a significant interest or engagement in nutrition-related issues, and that are ready to contribute their knowledge and experience, and to support the work of UNSCN.
In addition, a selection of non-UN organizations may be invited to join UNSCN as associate members, in recognition of their strategic and global research and policy relevance, competence and experience in the field of nutrition.
