GAIN at FINAS 2026

30 June – 2 July 2026 KICC

GAIN Kenya will join policymakers, investors, development partners, financial institutions, researchers, private sector leaders, and civil society at FINAS 2026 to advance sustainable financing for nutrition-sensitive food systems.

Why it matters

Financing healthier, more resilient food systems

FINAS 2026 brings together more than 1,000 participants from across Africa to strengthen how finance, policy, trade, and investment can support sustainable agrifood systems transformation.

For GAIN Kenya, the summit is an opportunity to show how nutrition-sensitive investment planning can help deliver healthier diets, stronger livelihoods, and more resilient food systems.

GAIN’s focus is clear: making sure food systems financing delivers nutrition impact, not only agricultural productivity.
