The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) was launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. GAIN is a global, Swiss-based foundation that mobilises public-private partnerships and provides financial and technical support to deliver nutritious foods to those people most at risk of malnutrition.
GAIN’s purpose is to advance nutrition outcomes by improving the consumption of nutritious and safe food for all people, especially those most vulnerable to malnutrition. In particular, we aim to improve the consumption of safe and nutritious foods for-at a minimum-1 billion people over the next five years and target major improvements to food systems, resulting in more diverse and healthier diets for vulnerable people in countries where we work.
Since 2010, the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement has inspired a new way of working collaboratively to end malnutrition, in all its forms. With the governments of 59 SUN Countries (and three Indian states) in the lead, SUN unites civil society, the United Nations, donors, businesses and researchers-in a collective effort to improve nutrition.
Co-Convened by GAIN and funded by the Government of the Netherlands, the SBN in Tanzania was launched in January 2014, to mobilise the private sector for nutrition action. Agriculture, Food Fortification and Consumer Awareness were identified as critical workstreams. The network has mobilized more than 90 members and is recognized across governments, UN agencies, donors and other development partners nationally.
