The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a non-profit foundation based in Geneva, Switzerland. GAIN was developed at the UN 2002 Special Session of the General Assembly on Children. GAIN’s actions include improving the consumption of nutritious and safe foods for all. They are supported by over 30 donors and work closely with international organisations and United Nations agencies. Their activities include improving consumption of nutritious food globally. The organisation has a 20 year history of food system programmes: focusing on adolescent and child nutrition, food system research, fortification, small and medium enterprise assistance, biofortification of crops and reducing post-harvest losses. They have Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, along with offices in countries with high levels of malnutrition: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Tanzania. They also have representative offices in Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. 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 gain access to fortified food. GAIN's collective impact approach in the nutrition sector has been recognised by the Stanford Social Innovation Review 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 has also recognized GAIN's innovation in pushing businesses to develop nutritious food products for the base of the pyramid. 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. 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. As a result, 14 countries mandated Large Scale Food Fortification. The GAIN Premix Facility project assists countries to procure high-quality, low-cost mineral and vitamin premix. The GAIN Premix Facility sourced USD 79 million worth in fortificants and premix blends since 2009, across 53 countries. 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.
