Tendai Gunda

Regional Representative @ SUN Movement

As the Regional Representative for Anglophone Africa at Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, I lead and support the implementation of the SUN strategy and action plan in 20 countries. I have over 17 years of experience in program management, spanning both humanitarian and development contexts, and I hold a Program D Pro certification and a Master's degree in Nutrition and Health.

My core competencies include coordinating, building capacity, and leading multiple stakeholders from different sectors to deliver high-impact nutrition interventions and policies. I am passionate about becoming a leader, expert, and pace-setter in public health nutrition and influencing policy to address important and ignored nutrition issues in the developing world. I am also proficient in report writing, African affairs, and budget management.
