Commitment description
Supported by the Bill & Melinda 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 organizations 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 programs by 2025.
