GAIN MANAGEMENT
To date, GAIN has provided more than US$ 40 million in funding and technical support, including US$ 28 million in grants to 19 fortification projects in 18 countries, to improve the nutrition of millions of people.
We are also implementing new programs and approaches to reach many millions more. For instance, we are ringing our ability to mobilize partnerships and find large-scale solutions that improve nutrition to a new push or worldwide salt iodization, and to a new program of work to enhance the quality of food given to infants and young children.
I am grateful for the continued support of our partners in these efforts, especially of the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, the Canadian International Development Agency, and the United States Agency for International development.
This annual report is first and foremost a review of these activities and the improvements we bring to the health of our target populations. I hope you will share my conclusion from this report that GAIN is making a difference.
But there is more: under our dedication to fighting malnutrition and delivering measurable impacts lies our ingrained drive for innovation to find and apply new solutions to what remains a daunting challenge.
I hope you will also see in this report our growing ability to involve new stakeholders, to find novel ways to fight malnutrition, to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our methods, and thereby justify the trust our partners and supporters bestow on us.
That is the solid foundation on which GAIN operates, and which will allow us to do even more in future.
