Improving the

Solutions
GAIN has been leading many of these efforts over the last
decade to catalyse national flour fortification in Africa. GAIN
believes that food fortification should be an integral part of
African countries nutrition strategies where existing food
supplies and limited access fail to provide adequate levels of
nutrients in the diet.
In Africa, GAIN has provided grants or technical assistance to
Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, South
Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe as well as
throughout West Africa.
Created in 2002 at a Special Session of the UN General
Assembly on Children, GAIN supports public-private
partnerships to increase access to missing nutrients in diets
necessary for people, communities and economies to be healthier.
GAIN is a Swiss foundation headquartered in Geneva with a
special international status granted by the Swiss government. It is
the only international organisation exclusively focused on ending
malnutrition.
GAIN is committed
to helping address
bottlenecks to
sustainability,
compliance and
impact of fortification
