OVERVIEW
From pilot to national infrastructure.
A Scalable National Model for Youth-Led Nutrition Action
CS‑SUNN has developed and tested a high-impact, inclusive youth engagement model that is positioned for national scale across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Built on successful implementation across diverse contexts, this strategy demonstrates how young people — including adolescents, young persons with disabilities (PLWDs), and other marginalised groups — serve as catalysts for improved nutrition outcomes. It drives advocacy, strengthens community systems, enhances accountability, and accelerates behaviour change.
This nationally adaptable model provides a structured and scalable framework for integrating youth into Nigeria’s nutrition response architecture, with a deliberate emphasis on equity, inclusion, and leaving no one behind.
Five pillars,
mutually reinforcing.
The CS‑SUNN Youth Engagement Strategy is anchored on pillars designed for scalability, sustainability, and inclusiveness — each one load-bearing, none standing alone. Click any pillar to explore it.

Driving Change
A new generation of advocates, strategists, and builders working at the intersection of nutrition, policy, and community — across Nigeria and beyond.
A cost-effective, field-tested model — built to scale.
Proven on the ground
Field-tested and inclusive, with demonstrated results across diverse implementation contexts.
Aligned to agendas
Strong alignment with national and global nutrition and equity priorities.
Built-in scalability
Designed to scale across diverse socio-cultural and demographic contexts nationwide.
Built for sustainability
Sustained through systems integration and inclusive capacity building, not one-off activity.
Investment in this model unlocks the full potential of Nigeria’s diverse youth population — ensuring no group is excluded in the fight against malnutrition.
From advocates to architects of national nutrition progress.
By combining capacity development, community engagement, policy advocacy, digital mobilisation, and institutional integration — while centring marginalised groups — this model is uniquely positioned to deliver sustained, nationwide impact.
Scaling this approach across all 36 states and the FCT will strengthen Nigeria’s nutrition outcomes and establish a replicable, equity-driven blueprint for youth-led development across sectors.
