GAIN Working Paper Series n°40: Bringing Food Safety to the Shoppers

Reducing foodborne disease in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is crucial for advancing nutrition, health, and other development goals. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)/Feed the Future’s Evidence and Action Towards Safe, Nutritious Food (EatSafe) program sought to harness consumer demand as a mechanism to improve food safety practices and generate evidence on how to raise consumer demand for safe, nutritious foods in traditional market settings—the main source of food for most LMIC consumers.

Paving the way to improved nutrition with fortified school meals for students in Tanzania

Paving the way to improved nutrition with fortified school meals for students in Tanzania

Around 130’000 school children in Tanzania are benefiting from eating fortified nutrient-dense meals through an initiative led by the Global Alliance of Improved Nutrition (GAIN) to help address the prevalence of chronic malnutrition in the countryWith a population of 64 million, Tanzania suffers from high rates of micronutrient deficiencies with one-third of children deficient in iron and vitamin A.

Reaching Lower-Income Consumers with Nutritious Foods: Selling in Flexible Quantities and Cutting Packaging

Reaching Lower-Income Consumers with Nutritious Foods: Selling in Flexible Quantities and Cutting Packaging

Vending food products in flexible quantities (i.e., loose, as opposed to in packages) is commonly used worldwide in both traditional and formal retail outlets. While it has other advantages (e.g., reducing packaging materials), the main advantages from the affordability perspective are the ability to buy very small amounts (at lower cost) and to not have to pay the costs of packaging.
Steps Toward Progress Micronutrients – GAIN supports Ethiopian Government in Accessing premix Input

Steps Toward Progress Micronutrients – GAIN supports Ethiopian Government in Accessing premix Input

When the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) approved policies making the fortification of wheat flour and edible oil mandatory in Ethiopia in June 2022, the country took a leap in its decade old battle to employ fortification as a means of increasing consumption of micronutrients. The GAIN Large Scale Food fortification Programme aims to provide populations with the basic #micronutrients, also known as vitamins and minerals, that they need for brain, physical and healthy development. In line with this, in Ethiopia, GAIN is working with government and the private sector to move forward the mandatory fortification of wheat flour and edible oil.

Kenya needs urgent action to improve complementary feeding for young children, new research reveals

Complementary feeding, the practice of providing infants and young children with a variety of nutritious and safe foods while continuing to breastfeed, is essential for their health and development. However, Kenya, despite being a fast-growing economy with a constitutional right to nutrition and health for every child, has made little progress on this front.
