The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is driven by the vision of a world without malnutrition.

The organization is delivering improved nutrition to an estimated 700 million people in more than 30 countries, half of whom are women and children.
The Scaling Up Nutrition Business Network (SBN)’s ambition is to foster a new dialogue and relationship between business and other development actors in nutrition, which will lead to new, innovative ways of addressing malnutrition, the leading cause of child morbidity worldwide, including Pakistan which suffers high rates of micronutrient deficiency and stunting.
