The objective of this study was to determine whether a possession score or a poverty index best predicts undernutrition and anaemia in women of reproductive age (15–49 years; WRA) and children aged 6–59 months living in Côte d'Ivoire.
The study’s objective was to assess dietary intakes of key micronutrients and the consumption pattern of potentially fortifiable foods, and then to model the potential impact of fortification of key staple foods.
The overall aim of the survey was to generate data to assess the project performance in terms of household coverage, utilization and population reach of fortified wheat flour products, vegetable oil and salt in Ghana, as well as to determine the prevalence of iodine deficiency by analysing urinary iodine.
USAID Tajikistan commissioned GAIN to assess the wheat sector in Tajikistan and identify opportunities for strengthening flour fortification with micronutrients. This report follows a desk review and interviews in October 2013, a mission to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan in late October to November 2013 and analysis of feedback from national stakeholders in early 2014.
GAIN implemented the Tajikistan Technical Support Project to Reduce Micronutrient Deficiencies with financial support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from October 2014 to December 2017. The project’s goal was to improve nutrition for vulnerable women and children in Tajikistan.
The objective of the study was to assess the present knowledge among rural families (including general population, pregnant women, lactating women and adolescent girls) on food fortification and their attitude and behaviour towards regular use of fortified atta.
Bangladesh is effectively implementing measures to address high rates of malnutrition. This brief presents the Pushtikona model and the partnership formed with Renata, a pharmaceutical company and BRAC, to deliver micronutrient powders across Bangladesh.
Millions of families worldwide face inadequate access to diverse and nutritious foods. This brief presents GAIN’s Multinutrient Supplements Initiative (MSI) in Kenya, showcasing the success stories of delivering fortified foods and nutrient supplement to vulnerable families throughout the country.
This presentation is an overview of GAIN's Infant and Young Child Nutrition (IYCN) programme, which aims to improve availability and accessibility of affordable nutritious infant foods through innovative and new delivery models. It presents the three models of delivery (public, fully commercial and social business), a map of its 23 projects in 17 countries and six lessons derived from IYCN's operations.
This report details the event proceedings and recommendations from the Global Summit on Food Fortification.
