How GAIN Works With Businesses

GAIN believes that business has a critical role to play in the fight against malnutrition. GAIN strategically partners with business to increase private sector investment in combating malnutrition and has collaborated with hundreds of businesses to deliver core nutrition programs, such as the Infant and Young Child Nutrition and National Food Fortification programs. The GAIN Business Alliance (BA), currently chaired by Unilever, is an alliance of member companies committed to the fight against malnutrition and is an example of one kind of partnership arrangement between business and GAIN.

A key role business can play in nutrition remains the delivery of quality, affordable and accessible food to those most at risk of malnutrition. GAIN remains committed to developing innovative business models to ensure that Base of the Pyramid (BOP) consumers are benefiting from nutritious products at an affordable price. GAIN also recognizes companies with innovative solutions to addressing malnutrition through the GAIN Business Award for Innovation in Nutrition.
