From Presentation to Partnership, Our Journey with Uganda’s office of the Prime Minister

A single presentation about workforce nutrition became the catalyst for a transformative partnership with Uganda’s office of the prime minister (OPM). When we first introduced the four pillars of workforce nutrition i.e. nutrition education, healthy food at work, breastfeeding support, and nutrition focused health checks, we could not have anticipated the impact it would have on the officials present. Their response was immediate and enthusiastic “This is exactly what we have been missing”.

Cultivating Diversity: Kenya’s Bold Vision for Resilient Food Systems

Imagine a Kenya where vibrant urban markets overflow with indigenous greens, youth in peri-urban areas lead Agri-tech startups, and rural cooperatives thrive as they steward regenerative farming methods. This future was at the heart of a recent co-creation workshop in Kenya, uniting 35 food system leaders from Ministry of Agriculture, Glocolearning, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), SUN CSA and GAIN to chart pathways toward food systems diversification. Diversification has been widely identified as a strategy with great potential to build better resilience, nutrition, and equity across Kenya.

GAIN 2025 Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Commitments

From March 27 to 28, 2025, The Government of France hosted the 2025 Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit in Paris. The N4G Summit is an international conference dedicated to defeating all forms of malnutrition by bringing together governments, international organisations, philanthropies, businesses, NGOs and other key stakeholders. Its objectives are to elevate nutrition as a key priority on the global development agenda and secure concrete political and financial commitments to accelerate progress against malnutrition. In alignment with its mission to enhance nutrition outcomes by improving the consumption of nutritious and safe food for all people, GAIN registered two new commitments under the Nutrition Accountability Framework (NAF) to ensure accountability in achieving its objectives. These commitments build upon those that GAIN initially registered at the 2021 Tokyo N4G Summit.

Driving Nutrition Impact through African SMEs

Fighting malnutrition in all its forms is one of the major challenges of the 21st century. While more than 820 million people suffer from undernutrition and hunger, with 150 million children under age 5 stunted (too short for their age), another 2 billion people are overweight or obese. With SMEs in Africa producing and distributing approximately 70%-80% of the nutritious foods available on the continent, they are key drivers of food supply, job creation and economic growth. How can they reach lower-income consumers and create sustainable nutrition impact?

Paris Declaration on Business & Nutrition 2030: Reshaping The Nutrition Economy

On March 26, 2025, the Access to Nutrition Initiative (ATNi), the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), and the Paris Peace Forum presented The Paris Declaration on Business & Nutrition 2030 at a high-level event ahead of the Paris Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit. This Declaration urgently calls for reshaping the nutrition economy through a multi-sectoral approach to address malnutrition in all its forms.

Amidst Aid Cuts – Urgent call for Smarter, Stronger & Swifter solutions to Curb Malnutrition

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) joins world leaders and organisations at the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit to press for smarter nutrition financing, stronger private sector engagement and swifter actions on nutrition commitments made.

369,000 children likely to die and 2.3 million at risk due to 44% cuts in global nutrition funding

Experts warn of the devastating toll of aid cuts on malnourished children and how it will impact generations to come—not just as huge human cost—but also a huge cost to development, economic growth, and future global prosperity.

Outcome Assessment for Future Food Safety and Basic Nutrition Training of Food Vendors.

The Private Service Provider (PSP) knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) assessment was done to see how well PSPs who were trained by the CASCADE project and worked with the National Home-Grown School Feeding Program (NHGSFP) remembered and used what they learnt about basic nutrition, food safety, hygiene, and handling raw materials. The NHGSFP aims to provide daily nutritious meals to public primary school pupils using locally grown farm produce, thereby enhancing children's health, increasing school attendance, and supporting local farmers while contributing to the overall economic and social development of Nigeria. The program was suspended in January 2024 for nine weeks; however, since the suspension by the president, the program has yet to kick off, even with budgetary allocations in the 2024 and 2025 budgets. This suspension has hindered the effective application of the knowledge and skills gained during the training.
