Improve access to fortification quality data for decision making at the country and global level through digitization
Description
Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) will increase access to data on fortification quality for decision-making by:
• Developing a cross-sector digital QA/QC data system for government, industry and others along the fortification value chain.
• Developing and providing a trusted, secure data system architecture to visualise production data in real time for product optimisation and monitoring.
• Automating and incentivising collection of fortification data at the premix supply, production and external monitoring levels.
• Improving compliance with existing fortification programmes and providing technical support to industry.
• Providing technical support to the government and access to consistent, high-quality data to improve monitoring and enforcement.
Overarching commitment (for commitments submitted pre-2025)
Title
Better nutrition through fortification
Description
Supported by the Gates Foundation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, GAIN will work with national governments to increase access to fortified foods across six geographies through 2022–2025: Bangladesh, Benin, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria and Uganda. Through our programming, technical assistance will be provided to governments, food producers and civil society.
Also, a global alliance for food fortification will be strengthened by improving coordination and communication across key development partner organisations through the Global Fortification Technical Advisory Group, and GAIN will support the establishment of food fortification digital monitoring tools in at least three countries.
Altogether, this will ensure that at least 1.2 billion people will have access to fortified staple foods and that at least three governments will establish new food fortification mandates or significantly strengthen existing programmes by 2025.
