Executive Director Catherine Bertini The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a non-profit foundation based in Geneva, Switzerland.

[4] GAIN has headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, along with offices in countries with high levels of malnutrition: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Tanzania.

[citation needed] GAIN's collective impact approach in the nutrition sector has been recognised by the Stanford Social Innovation Review[7] as a model of collaboration that achieves large scale progress in the face of the urgent and complex problems of our time.

[citation needed] Fortification is GAIN's oldest programme area, starting in 2003 when China, Morocco, South Africa and Vietnam became the first four countries to be supported.

They also developed the Workforce Nutrition initiative, focusing on partnerships with employers that can be integrated in their day-to-day operations and supply chains to improve employees' and their dependents' diets.

[35] GAIN responded to a request from the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to lead consultations on building business contributions as part of this work.

[38] The consortium projected impacts during the short- and long-term recovery phases of the pandemic and identified ways to mitigate the nutritional damage done, with a specific focus on children.

These commitments range from increasing reach in broadcasting mobile phone nutrition messages, all the way to providing 60 million people each year with fortified staple foods.

[41] The Amsterdam Initiative against Malnutrition (AIM) is a coalition of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Unilever, DSM, AkzoNobel, Wageningen University, ICCO and GAIN that aims to work with others to end malnutrition in Africa by 2015 through initially targeting six countries: Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Ethiopia, Ghana and Mozambique.

AIM partners have also identified distribution channels for nutritious foods that reach base of the pyramid populations, including safe water kiosks, milk bars, and school feeding programs.

The initiative also began supporting the Kenya Nutritionists and Dieticians Institute, to create demand for nutrition through strengthening capacity development, policy and advocacy, and public engagement.

AIM will increase focus on market insight and BOP consumer aspirations to ensure nutritious products are not only accessible and affordable, but also in high demand.

[citation needed] The GAIN Nordic Partnership is a multi-sector platform with an ambition to facilitate scalable and inclusive business models that enhance the nutritional value of food in developing countries.

The platform brings together Nordic companies, civil society, academia and the public sector in a forum for collaboration, action and knowledge sharing.

The index aims to increase consumers' access to more nutritious products and ultimately contribute to addressing the serious global problems of both undernutrition and obesity.
