The Global Diet Quality Project offers a new approach that enables countries to track diet quality. The project’s Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) allows users to investigate both diet adequacy and diet components that protect against or increase risk of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)
CARE USA and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) announced today the signing of a memorandum of understanding, establishing a global partnership to improve access to affordable healthy diets.
Read our first in the series on The Food Crisis: What's Happening, a collection of work on the current events and the impact we're seeing on a global scale. The Food Crisis is affecting everyone socially, economically and nutritionally. Jamie Morrison speaks about what areas need more attention and what actions need to be taken now.
We at GAIN certainly believe data for food systems are important generally and for our own work and we invest in it. There are four recent reports that we have contributed to that I would like to draw your attention to.
Research published today in Lancet Global Health indicates that 1 in 2 preschool-aged children and 2 in 3 women of reproductive age worldwide are affected by vitamin and mineral deficiencies (often referred to as "hidden hunger").
Join this panel discussion on Monday, 17 October 2022 to learn about the magnitude of micronutrient malnutrition worldwide and ways to accelerate progress through cost-effective and scalable actions.
The Lancet Global Health article is the first evidence-based global estimation of micronutrient (vitamin and minerals) deficiencies that systematically analyzed data on population-representative surveys from preschool-aged children and women of reproductive age.
1 in 2 people reading this article are likely experiencing hidden hunger, in other words a lack of essential vitamins and minerals. That matters because these "micronutrients" are the micro drivers of functions such as our immune systems which keep us safe and healthy.
In a recent report, Overcoming Multistakeholder Partnership Financing Hurdles to Accelerate the SDGs, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and partners discuss the funding challenges and lessons learned of commercially driven multi-stakeholder partnerships and share some recommendations on how to effectively drive positive impact on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
