Kenya fortified micronutrient supplements initiative (MSI)


Millions of families worldwide face inadequate access to diverse and nutritious foods. While many programmes target severe hunger, ensuring food is available to fill bellies, few programmes focus on the “hidden hunger,” ensuring the quality of the food meets the special needs of women, children, and adolescent girls. 

This brief presents GAIN’s Multinutrient Supplements Initiative (MSI) in Kenya, showcasing the success stories of delivering fortified foods and nutrient supplement to vulnerable families throughout the country. To achieve this, GAIN partnered with the Government of Kenya, Feed the Children, and Philips Healthcare Services Ltd to accelerate a nationwide campaign to get micronutrients to children within the 1,000 days window.
