The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is an international organisation focused on reducing malnutrition and improving global nutrition. Established in 2002, GAIN partners with governments, businesses, and civil society to enhance access to nutritious food, particularly for vulnerable populations. The organisation’s key initiatives include fortifying staple foods, improving infant and child nutrition, and supporting small- and medium-sized enterprises in the food sector.

GAIN’s work is relevant to sustainable finance as it promotes market-based solutions that attract investment to build sustainable food systems. By partnering with businesses and financial institutions, GAIN helps drive economic development while improving nutrition outcomes.

GAIN offers valuable resources for finance professionals, including research reports, policy briefs, and tools for monitoring and evaluating nutrition programmes. These resources provide insights into the barriers to good nutrition and effective strategies for addressing them, supporting informed decision-making in finance and investment.
