GAIN and its partnerships implemented a project aimed at improving the nutrient adequacy of infant and young child diets in three districts of Sofala Province, Mozambique. The results presented in this report are based on focused ethnographic study interviews with caregivers who participated in the program.
GAIN aimed at improving the nutrient adequacy of infant and young child diets in three districts of Sofala Province, Mozambique, through the delivery of micronutrient powder, called “VitaMais”, to children 6–23 months old and behaviour change interventions.
GAIN and its partnerships supported MISAU in the implementation of a home fortification project, which aimed to improve complementary feeding practices through the delivery of micronutrient powder and behaviour change communication activities to children in three districts of Sofala Province, Mozambique.
Bangladeshi adolescents are in the midst of several modes of expansion outside their context such as from closely enmeshed family networks to broader collectives. This report covers an assessment on understanding human motivations among Bangladeshi adolescents.
The Uganda Food Consumption Survey was undertaken to provide the critical body of evidence that policy makers and program designers need to make informed decisions about effective investments to reduce deficiencies of vitamins and minerals in Uganda.
AP Foods’ approach to supplementary food production is a strong example of how GAIN’s nutrition partners learn from and use business-centered practices to achieve improved quality and efficiency within public sector or non-profit organisational contexts.
The purpose of this study was to examine the potential of Maisoyforte 6-24, a new fortified, non-instant cereal for infants and young children (IYC), which was proposed by a local Ghanaian company to the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) for start-up support.
In the Philippines, the prevalence of undernutrition and micronutrient deficiency remained high period of three years. The objectives of this survey were to describe the current infant and child feeding practices and identify major individual, family and community factors that contribute to current breastfeeding practices, as well as to determine growth/nutritional and micronutrient status.
The department of Paediatrics and Child Health, Aga Khan University conducted the Pakistan National Nutrition Survey in 2011 to assess the population nutritional status, particularly among women and children using standard international parameters and indicators. This survey report describes the results of these additional analyses.
In 2008, GAIN began drafting plans to create sustainable market-based solutions to address the problem of micronutrient deficiencies in children in South Africa. This project covers strong benefits for identifying low-cost, scalable methods early on (such as mobile campaigns) to educate and inform customers.
