GAIN Discussion Paper n°20 Integrating Gender Into Large-Scale Food Fortification for Greater Impact

- 04/09/2026

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.
