GAIN is pleased to announce its membership in the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty (GAAHP) bringing on board a nutrition and food systems lens for global efforts
GAIN joins the coalition with a focus on supporting Alliance member governments to advance evidence-based food systems and nutrition solutions. Through technical assistance and alignment of financing for sustainable food systems, GAIN will contribute to national capacities and support policy coherence across food, health and social protection systems. GAIN’s on-the-ground presence and experience enable an effective connection of global commitments with country-led action, data and delivery.
“Joining the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty reflects GAIN’s commitment to collective action. In the current global context, strong alliances and partnerships for food and nutrition security are just not nice to have, they are absolutely essential,” said Dr. Lawrence Haddad, Executive Director of GAIN .
GAIN’s engagement in the Alliance will help ensure that nutrition remains central to hunger and poverty-reduction programmes, accelerating practical solutions that improve access to affordable, safe and nutritious food for all, particularly for vulnerable populations disproportionately affected by malnutrition.
