GAIN Working Paper n°76: Advocating for Workforce Nutrition


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.
