The Wheat Flour Fortification (WFF) programme in Himachal Pradesh is a mature example of a state-wide food fortification initiative implemented through the Public Distribution System (PDS), a key food-based social safety net programme in India. The programme demonstrates strong political commitment, effective operational implementation, and high consumer acceptance, while also highlighting systemic challenges related to quality assurance, monitoring, and interdepartmental coordination.
GAIN undertook a process documentation exercise in Himachal Pradesh and the Union Territory of Ladakh to capture implementation experiences, key learnings, and good practices. Based on this exercise, two policy briefs have been developed, one for each location.

Mozambique faces interconnected climate and nutrition challenges. Recurrent droughts, floods, cyclones, and
extreme rainfall disrupt agricultural production, livelihoods, markets, water and sanitation systems, and
health services, with important consequences for food security and nutrition. These hazards are particularly
significant because many households depend on climate sensitive agriculture for food and income. This assessment
examines how Mozambique’s national policies and institutional landscape frame the connection between
climate and nutrition .

Large-scale food fortification (LSFF) is widely implemented to reduce micronutrient deficiencies at the population level. LSFF programmes involve an array of decision-makers and actors across the value chain. Understanding how gender norms, roles, decision- making power, and consumption patterns shape participation across the LSFF value chain can help identify opportunities to improve programme effectiveness, equity, and sustainability.

Successful implementation of workforce nutrition programmes relies on gaining employer commitment; without it, activities cannot be adopted or sustained. Prior to the implementation of workforce nutrition programmes, employers must thus be brought on board with the approach. This paper draws on primary data from GAIN programme teams in
Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, and Uganda to analyse the strategies and processes used to gain this employer buy-in, including which strategies were effective, what challenges arose, and the underlying reasons.
