GAIN
Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition
Mission
In 2002, The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) came into being to challenge the human distress triggered by malnutrition. Functioning with associates, GAIN targets building better food choices that are more reasonably priced, more accessible, and more looked for. Their resolution is to advance nutrition products by refining the ingestion of nourishing and harmless food for all individuals, particularly the most vulnerable.
Vision
Design and deliver food-based policy and program interventions that improve the consumption of nutritious and safe foods
Projects
The general goals of the development are to improve the nutritional status of the female workforce in garment production by increasing the steady consumption of more healthful foods. GAIN will accomplish this by working with factory vendors to provide enhanced nutritious dining for both female workers and their children. This will recover the nutritional status of this group but also reinforce the capability of factory well-being and allow the environment to be introduced and the continued provision of nutritious food and nutrition-sensitive interferences in the garment factories. Moreover, this will expand overall care for the children of female workers in the garment industry through better-quality childcare facilities at workstations.
Impact
This will increase the trading method that labourers will have when it comes to nutrition and nutritious foods at the workplace. Eventually, GAIN will pursue reproducing and scaling up the project, basing itself on the pilot results. It will also pursue growing its scope in other industries outside the garment sector.
Partner Organization
International Centre for Diarrheal Disease and Research, Bangladesh.
Proposal For This Partnership
With hard-working country partners playing a key and supporting role, it aims to make sure that investigators have the flexibility to direct resources to address local needs.
