Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition - GAIN Verified listing

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss-based foundation launched at the United Nations in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with governments, businesses and civil society, we aim to transform food systems so that they deliver healthier diets for all people, especially the most vulnerable.

Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, GAIN has offices in countries with high levels of malnutrition: Bangladesh, Benin, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. To support work in those countries, we have representative offices in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

At GAIN, we believe that everyone in the world should have access to nutritious, safe, and affordable food. Today, one in three people – drawn from nearly every country on the planet – are unable to consume enough nutritious food. We work to develop and deliver solutions to this daily challenge.

Since 2007, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) has been actively engaged in Pakistan, initially concentrating on Large-Scale Food Fortification before expanding its scope to encompass adolescent nutrition and private sector involvement through the SUN Business Network.

In the light of its updated global strategy for 2023-27, GAIN has repositioned its efforts in Pakistan to address the shifting nutritional landscape effectively. Current endeavours include promoting the commercialization of biofortified crops, fostering food system transformation to bolster nutritional outcomes, nutrition sensitive social protection, nutrient enriched fruit bars, whey 2 value and engagement of youth in the food system transformation initiatives.
