About GAIN

Investing in Partnerships to Fight Malnutrition

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss foundation whose vision is a world without malnutrition. Created in 2002 at a special UN session on children, GAIN’s mission is to reduce malnutrition through food fortification and other strategies aimed at improving the health and nutrition of populations at risk.

GAIN is an alliance of governments, international organizations, the private sector and civil society. The organization funds and advises national governments, businesses and civil society to work together to develop and distribute high quality and affordable fortified food products and complementary foods for low-income populations.

GAIN receives funding from a number of organizations including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
