The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a non-profit foundation based in Geneva, Switzerland. GAIN was developed during the UN 2002 Special Session of the General Assembly on Children.[1] GAIN’s activities include improving the consumption of nutritious and safe foods for all.[2] The foundation is supported by over 30 donors and works closely with international organisations and United Nations agencies.[3] It has a 20-year history of food system programmes with a focus on adolescent and child nutrition, food system research, fortification, small and medium enterprise assistance, biofortification of crops, and reducing post-harvest losses.[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.[5] It also has representative offices in Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[6]
