In 2021, more than 3.1 billion people in the world – or 42 per cent of the global population – were unable to afford a healthy diet. Tea workers and farmers, predominantly women, often contend with high rates of malnutrition due to diets lacking essential nutrients. Healthy Diets for Tea Communities is a public-private collaboration between the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, the Ethical Tea Partnership and eight leading tea companies which aims to promote healthy diets in tea supply chains in India, Malawi, and Kenya. Between 2020 and 2023, the programme reached 734,075 people, increasing the percentage of women in the programme eating minimally diverse, nutritious diets – 5 out of 10 food groups – in all three countries. The documents below summarise the programme’s impact in Assam, Kenya and Malawi.

This discussion will look at what we're expecting from global leaders during the N4G summit. What kind of commitments do we want to see? How can we mobilise the international community around the issue of nutrition, bring in the private sector and civil society, and get back on track to fulfil the UN's sustainable development agenda?
The purpose of this assessment tool is to gather data from vendors, consumers, and key stakeholders in traditional markets to identify food safety challenges and perceptions.

This report demonstrates that investing in nutritious food value chains allows investors to achieve significant gender impact. The hope is that more funding will be unlocked for nutritious food value chains, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which critically lack access to financing in emerging markets.
Built on our efforts at Tokyo N4G, GAIN will try to harness the capacity of the private sector to transform food systems and tackle malnutrition. Businesses large and small are the main drivers behind the action, investment, and financial flows that supply our diets everywhere.
