Background:

National nutrition education programs are crucial for public health in developing countries.
Planning these programs involves complex issues and requires collaboration among high-level staff.
Existing planning tools may not adequately address the multifaceted nature of nutrition challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel nutrition game designed for the Food Policy and Nutrition Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
To introduce the Simulated Nutrition System Game (SNUS I) as a tool for planning national nutrition education programs.
To facilitate dialogue and understanding of nutrition program complexities among policymakers in developing countries.

Main Methods:

Development of the Simulated Nutrition System Game (SNUS I).
Creation of a common language within SNUS I to standardize communication.
Application of the game with high-level ministerial staff in developing countries.

Main Results:

SNUS I provides a platform for discussing complex nutrition program issues.
The game fosters a shared understanding of challenges in national nutrition planning.
Ministerial staff can engage in collaborative problem-solving through the game's framework.

Conclusions:

The Simulated Nutrition System Game (SNUS I) is an effective tool for enhancing national nutrition program planning.
SNUS I facilitates crucial discussions and collaborative decision-making in developing countries.
This innovative approach supports the Food and Agriculture Organization's mission in global nutrition.
