The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a non-profit foundation based in Geneva, Switzerland. GAIN was developed during the UN 2002 Special Session of the General Assembly on Children.^[1] GAIN’s activities include improving the consumption of nutritious and safe foods for all.^[2] The foundation is supported by over 30 donors and works closely with international organisations and United Nations agencies.^[3] It has a 20-year history of food system programmes with a focus on adolescent and child nutrition, food system research, fortification, small and medium enterprise assistance, biofortification of crops, and reducing post-harvest losses.^[4]

GAIN has headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, along with offices in countries with high levels of malnutrition: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Tanzania.^[5] It also has representative offices in Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States.^[6]

Work and Programmes

GAIN works with partners – governments, UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, and businesses worldwide. As of 2022, GAIN reached an estimated 1.2 billion people to gain access to fortified food.^{[citation needed]}

GAIN's collective impact approach in the nutrition sector has been recognised by the Stanford Social Innovation Review^[7] as a model of collaboration that achieves large scale progress in the face of the urgent and complex problems of our time. The Harvard Business Review^[8] has also recognized GAIN's innovation in pushing businesses to develop nutritious food products for the base of the pyramid.^{[citation needed]}

Fortification

Fortification is GAIN's oldest programme area, starting in 2003 when China, Morocco, South Africa and Vietnam became the first four countries to be supported.^[9] They have also developed the adoption of nutrient dense varieties of crops (“biofortified crops”) developed through natural plant breeding. Since 2002, GAIN has supported the roll-out fortification in approximately 30 low and middle-income countries as an approach to help decrease malnutrition.^[10] As a result, 14 countries mandated Large Scale Food Fortification.^[11] The GAIN Premix Facility project assists countries in procure high-quality, low-cost mineral and vitamin premix.^[12] The GAIN Premix Facility sourced USD 79 million worth of fortificants and premix blends since 2009, across 53 countries.^[13] In 2019, GAIN entered a partnership with HarvestPlus and launched the commercialization of biofortified crops programme with the objective of significantly expanding the reach of foods and food products made from biofortified staple foods in six countries; India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania.^[14]

Nutrition Enterprise Unit

GAIN’s Nutrition Enterprise Unit aims to support and represent over 1000 small and medium enterprises globally across the food system. The Nutrition Enterprise Development programme provides technical assistance to develop the capacities and technical assistance of SMEs working in food value chains.^[15] The Nutritious Food Financing Programme (N3F) provides debt investments to food value chain SMEs via a direct investment fund and providing technical support to SMEs across Sub-Saharan Africa.^[16] The SUN Business Network^[17] (SBN) was established between GAIN and the World Food Programme to support governments in mobilising the private sector to invest in improved business practices that contribute to national nutrition priorities. The SUN Business Network currently convenes over 1,400 business members globally.^[18]

Drivers of Food Systems Change

This cluster was specifically established to develop and implement responses to social and contextual changes, including gender, environmental issues and reaching the poorest in society, technology, social norms throughout the food system. Programmes under this area include Demand Generation, designed to generate greater consumer demand for healthy diets. sustainably and at scale.^[19] Social Protection aims to identify ways to make social protection programmes more nutrition-sensitive to the most vulnerable in society.^[20] The organisation also launched a number of responses to food systems resilance, partnering with Standing Together for Nutrition^[21] to develop the Keeping Food Markets Working^[22] initiative as a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic. They also developed the Workforce Nutrition initiative, focusing on partnerships with employers that can be integrated in their day-to-day operations and supply chains to improve employees' and their dependents' diets.^[23]

Building a global nutrition movement

Engaging the global community

A critical component of GAIN's efforts has been positioning nutrition as central to the global health and development platform. GAIN supports enhanced advocacy efforts at the national, regional and international levels, to enhance the policy environment to reach scale, raise the profile of nutrition and ultimately increase human and financial resources to address malnutrition.^{[citation needed]}

In 2011, as part of its expanded advocacy program, GAIN launched Future Fortified, a global campaign to improve the nutrition of mothers and children through support for GAIN programs and related global nutrition advocacy efforts.^{[citation needed]}

GAIN also supporters Scaling Up Nutrition, together with the World Food Programme, is a co-convener of the SUN Business Network. GAIN joined with partners to establish the 1,000 Days Partnership and supports the implementation of its programs.

Partnerships and Summits

United Nations Food Systems Summit (UN FSS)

During the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UN FSS) in 2021,^[24] Lawrence Haddad, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, was nominated to chair Action Track 1: Ensure Access to Safe and Nutritious Food for All.^[25] These Track focused on the areas of promoting Food Security and reducing hunger.^[26] The Action Track engaged with the wider public in many ways, one of them being the Public Forums organised in November 2020,^[27] February 2021^[28] and May 2021.^[29]

Nutrition for Growth (N4G) 2021

On the 7th and 8 December 2021, one year later than originally planned due to the global Covid-19 pandemic,^[30] the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit 2021 was held.^[31] The Summit resulted in 396 commitments made by government departments and ministries, international organisations, donor organisations, private sector businesses, civil society organisations and academic/research institutions.^[32] In the run-up to the Summit, GAIN, together with the Access to Nutrition Initiative^[33] had been supporting the Business Constituency Group^[34] (BCG). The BCG originated from the Building Business Contributions for the 2020 Global Nutrition Summit conference that took place in The Hague on 25–26 June 2019.^[35] GAIN responded to a request from the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to lead consultations on building business contributions as part of this work.^[36] GAIN published its commitments for N4G and registered a commitment on large-scale food fortification and diet quality for consumers at the bottom of the pyramid in the Nutrition Accountability Framework.^[37]

Standing Together For Nutrition (ST4N)

Standing Together for Nutrition was a multi-disciplinary consortium that brought together experts across the areas of nutrition, economics, food and health system experts to assess the impact of COVID-19 on nutritional status.^[38] The consortium projected impacts during the short- and long-term recovery phases of the pandemic and identified ways to mitigate the nutritional damage done, with a specific focus on children.^[39] The consortium was co-convened by Lawrence Haddad, Executive Director at GAIN, and Saskia Osendarp, Executive Director at the Micronutrient Forum (MNF).^[40]

Building public and private partnerships

GAIN engages with the private sector to improve efficiency and effectiveness of markets.

The SUN Business Network (SBN) co-convened by GAIN and the UN World Food Programme – is one of the four global networks that support SUN countries – along with UN, Civil Society and Donor Networks. The SBN was established to bring business together behind the SUN Movement and its aim to ensure that all people realise their right to good food and nutrition. In 2015, the SBN surpassed its target of 99 companies, with 160 now making public commitments to improving nutrition, and tracking their progress annually. These commitments range from increasing reach in broadcasting mobile phone nutrition messages, all the way to providing 60 million people each year with fortified staple foods. In total, commitments from member companies amount to reaching 125 million consumers every year by 2020. The SBN is now supporting ten SUN countries to develop national platforms and strategies to engage business in country-led national nutrition strategies.^[41]

The Amsterdam Initiative against Malnutrition (AIM) is a coalition of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Unilever, DSM, AkzoNobel, Wageningen University, ICCO and GAIN that aims to work with others to end malnutrition in Africa by 2015 through initially targeting six countries: Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Ethiopia, Ghana and Mozambique. In Kenya, AIM has initiated a milk fortification project and a market study to get insight into consumer attitudes towards fortified milk. AIM partners have also identified distribution channels for nutritious foods that reach base of the pyramid populations, including safe water kiosks, milk bars, and school feeding programs. The initiative also began supporting the Kenya Nutritionists and Dieticians Institute, to create demand for nutrition through strengthening capacity development, policy and advocacy, and public engagement. AIM will increase focus on market insight and BOP consumer aspirations to ensure nutritious products are not only accessible and affordable, but also in high demand.^{[citation needed]}

The GAIN Nordic Partnership is a multi-sector platform with an ambition to facilitate scalable and inclusive business models that enhance the nutritional value of food in developing countries. It was established in 2014 by the five founding partners: Arla Foods Ingredients, Tetra Pak, DanChurchAid, the Confederation of Danish Industry and GAIN. The platform brings together Nordic companies, civil society, academia and the public sector in a forum for collaboration, action and knowledge sharing. The first focus area of the GAIN Nordic Partnership is the development of sustainable initiatives along the dairy value chain in Ethiopia and East Africa. The goal is to reach low-income consumers with an income of US$2 to US$5 a day.

The Access to Nutrition Index, which started in 2009, tracks how well the food and beverage industry provides nutritious products to consumers. The methodology was developed by GAIN, and is jointly funded by GAIN, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Wellcome Trust. The index aims to increase consumers' access to more nutritious products and ultimately contribute to addressing the serious global problems of both undernutrition and obesity. It will allow food and beverage companies to benchmark their performance on nutrition against their peers, and it will serve as a platform that provides stakeholders – from investors to consumers and policymakers – with information that they can use to inform their decisions and their programs. The index also seeks to promote nutrition as an investible theme within the investment community.^[42]

+=== Drivers of Food Systems Change ===
-* '''Large Scale [[Food fortification|Food Fortification]]'''. Fortification of staple foods and condiments is a proven, cost-effective and simple nutrition intervention to tackle micronutrient malnutrition, or the lack of the essential micronutrients people need to grow and live healthy lives. GAIN works with governments to fortify everyday staple foods and condiments such as flour, salt and oil with vitamins and minerals, like iron, vitamin A, iodine and folic acid, that help prevent disease and encourage good health. GAIN's large-scale food fortification initiative was led by Greg S Garrett from 2012 until 2019.
+This cluster was specifically established to develop and implement responses to social and contextual changes, including gender, environmental issues and reaching the poorest in society, technology, social norms throughout the food system. Programmes under this area include Demand Generation, designed to generate greater consumer demand for healthy diets. sustainably and at scale.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Demand Generation |url=https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/programmes/demand-generation |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=Home |language=en |archive-date=2022-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220429110943/https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/programmes/demand-generation |url-status=live }}</ref> Social Protection aims to identify ways to make social protection programmes more nutrition-sensitive to the most vulnerable in society.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Social Protection |url=https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/programmes/social-protection |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=Home |language=en |archive-date=2022-05-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220506040942/https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/programmes/social-protection |url-status=live }}</ref> The organisation also launched a number of responses to food systems resilance, partnering with Standing Together for Nutrition<ref>{{Cite web |title=Food systems resilience |url=https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/programmes/food-systems-resilience |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=Home |language=en |archive-date=2022-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220429153010/https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/programmes/food-systems-resilience |url-status=live }}</ref> to develop the Keeping Food Markets Working<ref>{{Cite web |title=Our response to COVID-19 |url=https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/our-response-covid-19 |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=Home |language=en |archive-date=2022-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220429153010/https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/our-response-covid-19 |url-status=live }}</ref> initiative as a direct response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. They also developed the Workforce Nutrition initiative, focusing on partnerships with employers that can be integrated in their day-to-day operations and supply chains to improve employees' and their dependents' diets.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Workforce Nutrition |url=https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/programmes/workforce-nutrition |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=Home |language=en |archive-date=2022-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220429153011/https://www.gainhealth.org/impact/programmes/workforce-nutrition |url-status=live }}</ref>
-* '''Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition'''. GAIN works to break the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition and stunting, by focusing on the first 1,000 days, from conception to 24 months, and supporting improved complementary feeding practices – within the context of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, and continued breastfeeding to two years of age and beyond. The program in 2014-15 reached over 580,000 women and children, with a cumulative reach since its inception of over 19 million.
-* '''Agriculture and Nutrition'''. GAIN uses the agriculture value chain to identify opportunities for nutrition intervention at each stage – from food production to storage, processing to distribution, retail, marketing and food preparation. The marketplace is seen as a pivotal entry point for improving dietary diversity.
-* '''Business Partnerships and Alliances'''. GAIN tries to build stakeholder partnerships with governments, civil society and the private sector. The work with businesses take place at the global level and at the local level. In developing countries, GAIN works with the small and medium-sized enterprises that play a crucial role in the local food systems.
-* '''Monitoring Learning and Research'''. Through this unit, the organization seeks to strengthen the impact of its programs through better design and implementation, based on the review, generation, translation, and use of evidence for decision making. The unit also identifies and addresses priority evidence gaps related to programming areas, with the ultimate goal of informing GAIN's strategy, supporting advocacy and contributing to the global evidence base. Monitoring, Learning and Research at GAIN has been directed by Dr Lynnette Neufeld since 2014.
+==Building a global nutrition movement==
-==Programs==
+===Engaging the global community===
-GAIN's program portfolio is based on proven and cost-effective approaches. Programs support large-scale [[food fortification]], multi-nutrient supplements, nutritious foods for mothers and children, and enhancement of the nutritional content of agriculture products.
+A critical component of GAIN's efforts has been positioning nutrition as central to the global health and development platform. GAIN supports enhanced advocacy efforts at the national, regional and international levels, to enhance the policy environment to reach scale, raise the profile of nutrition and ultimately increase human and financial resources to address malnutrition.{{cn|date=September 2022}}
+In 2011, as part of its expanded advocacy program, GAIN launched Future Fortified, a global campaign to improve the nutrition of mothers and children through support for GAIN programs and related global nutrition advocacy efforts.{{cn|date=September 2022}}
-===More nutritious staple foods for populations at large===
-GAIN's [https://web.archive.org/web/20171111205229/https://www.gainhealth.org/programs/initiatives/ Large Scale Food Fortification Program] aims to increase sustainable consumption of staple foods and condiments fortified with essential vitamins and minerals among populations at large in target countries. Key goals include increasing coverage of key [[micronutrients]] (vitamin A, iodine, iron, zinc, [[folic acid]]) to more than 500 million women and children and reduction of key deficiencies by 20–30 percent. Projects fortify staple foods and condiments including vegetable oil, maize meal, rice, wheat flour, salt, sugar, soy sauce and fish sauce – relying on business to fortify products and governments to establish appropriate legislation and regulation. The program supports innovative ways of reaching the hard to reach through market-based channels and public distribution.<ref>{{cite web|title=GAIN National Food Fortification Program|url=http://www.gainhealth.org/programs/gain-national-food-fortification-program|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120903012217/http://www.gainhealth.org/programs/gain-national-food-fortification-program|archivedate=2012-09-03}}</ref>
+GAIN also supporters Scaling Up Nutrition, together with the [[World Food Programme]], is a co-convener of the SUN Business Network. GAIN joined with partners to establish the 1,000 Days Partnership and supports the implementation of its programs.
-===Good nutrition for mothers and children===
-GAIN's efforts in this area support in-country production and distribution of high-quality, affordable, low-cost fortified foods for young children which complement breast milk, and development and improved access to nutritious foods for pregnant and breastfeeding women. The focus is placed in particular on the development of adequate delivery models to ensure access to, and demand for and use of, products by target populations.
-===Agriculture and nutrition===
+===Partnerships and Summits===
+'''United Nations Food Systems Summit (UN FSS)'''
-Supporting the production, processing and use of more nutritious agricultural crops and enhancing the quality of staple foods (through improved seeds, fertilizers and milling and storage practices) are two strategies for bringing better nutrition to vulnerable populations in a sustainable way. Taken together these efforts can also increase effective yields for poor farmers and improve their health and livelihoods.

-Ensuring that the food system works to improve nutritional value means more than simply increasing production and making sure there is enough food to feed the world's population. Nutritional quality needs to become a measurable objective in agricultural programs, and embedded within the pillars of food security. Strategies for integrating health, nutrition and agriculture are reflected in the [http://www.scalingupnutrition.org/ Scaling Up Nutrition] movement, and are gaining momentum both nationally and in global thinking.

-===Engaging the global community===
-A critical component of GAIN's efforts has been positioning nutrition as central to the global health and development platform, as poor nutrition is clearly an impediment for achieving the [[Sustainable Development Goals]]. GAIN supports enhanced advocacy efforts at the national, regional and international levels, to enhance the policy environment to reach scale, raise the profile of nutrition and ultimately increase human and financial resources to address malnutrition.
+'''Standing Together For Nutrition (ST4N)'''
-In 2011, as part of its expanded advocacy program, GAIN launched [https://web.archive.org/web/20120419005227/http://futurefortified.org/ Future Fortified], a global campaign to improve the nutrition of mothers and children through support for GAIN programs and related global nutrition advocacy efforts.
+Standing Together for Nutrition was a multi-disciplinary consortium that brought together experts across the areas of [[nutrition]], [[economics]], food and [[health system]] experts to assess the impact of [[COVID-19]] on nutritional status.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Standing Together for Nutrition (ST4N) |url=https://www.standingtogetherfornutrition.org/ |access-date=2022-04-01 |website=Standing Together for Nutrition (ST4N) |language=en-US |archive-date=2022-04-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220401154724/https://www.standingtogetherfornutrition.org/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The consortium projected impacts during the short- and long-term recovery phases of the pandemic and identified ways to mitigate the nutritional damage done, with a specific focus on children.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=A Resilient Future: Investing today to safeguard tomorrow |url=https://static1.squarespace.com/enwiki/static/5fc228ec616251320838493c/t/61242e68b437e10913dc0b8e/1629761129760/ST4N+Investor+Brief+_AUG2021.pdf |journal=The Standing Together for Nutrition (ST4N) |access-date=2022-04-01 |archive-date=2023-10-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231031105404/http://static1.squarespace.com/enwiki/static/5fc228ec616251320838493c/t/61242e68b437e10913dc0b8e/1629761129760/ST4N+Investor+Brief+_AUG2021.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> The consortium was co-convened by [[Lawrence Haddad]], Executive Director at GAIN, and Saskia Osendarp, Executive Director at the Micronutrient Forum (MNF).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Contact 1 |url=https://www.standingtogetherfornutrition.org/contact-us |access-date=2022-04-01 |website=Standing Together for Nutrition (ST4N) |language=en-US |archive-date=2022-04-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220401154727/https://www.standingtogetherfornutrition.org/contact-us |url-status=live }}</ref>
-GAIN is also a strong supporter of [http://www.scalingupnutrition.org/ Scaling Up Nutrition] , together with the [[World Food Programme]], is a co-convener of the [http://sunbusinessnetwork.org/ SUN Business Network]. GAIN joined with partners to establish the [http://www.thousanddays.org/ 1,000 Days Partnership] and supports the implementation of its programs.
 ===Building public and private partnerships===
-Market-based approaches to nutrition are an essential part of the way GAIN does business. Over 90 percent of food and beverages in the developed world, and increasingly in emerging markets too, are produced or delivered by the private sector. GAIN engages with the private sector to improve efficiency and effectiveness of markets.

-The SUN Business Network (SBN) co-convened by GAIN and the UN World Food Programme – is one of the four global networks that support SUN countries – along with UN, Civil Society and Donor Networks. The SBN was established to bring business together behind the SUN Movement and its aim to ensure that all people realise their right to good food and nutrition. In 2015,the SBN surpassed its target of 99 companies, with 160 now making public commitments to improving nutrition, and tracking their progress annually. These commitments range from increasing reach in broadcasting mobile phone nutrition messages, all the way to providing 60 million people each year with fortified staple foods. In total, commitments from member companies amount to reaching 125 million consumers every year by 2020. The SBN is now supporting ten SUN countries to develop national platforms and strategies to engage business in country-led national nutrition strategies.<ref>http://sunbusinessnetwork.org/business-commitment/</ref>

In Kenya, AIM has initiated a milk fortification project and a market study to get insight into consumer attitudes towards fortified milk. AIM partners have also identified distribution channels for nutritious foods that reach base of the pyramid populations, including safe water kiosks, milk bars, and school feeding programs. The initiative also began supporting the Kenya Nutritionists and Dieticians Institute, to create demand for nutrition through strengthening capacity development, policy and advocacy, and public engagement. Going forward, AIM will increase focus on market insight and BOP consumer aspirations to ensure nutritious products are not only accessible and affordable, but also in high demand.

It was established in 2014 by the five founding partners: [[Arla Foods Ingredients]], [[Tetra Pak]], [[DanChurchAid]], the Confederation of Danish Industry and GAIN. The platform brings together Nordic companies, civil society, academia and the public sector in a forum for collaboration, action and knowledge sharing. Together, we co-create solutions that address undernutrition but at the same time are affordable, tasty and attractive for low income consumers living on a budget of a few dollars a day. The first focus area of the GAIN Nordic Partnership is the development of sustainable initiatives along the dairy value chain in Ethiopia and East Africa. The goal is to reach low-income consumers with an income of US$2 to US$5 a day.
