About GAIN

GAIN is a Swiss-based foundation launced at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human
suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with both governments and
businesses, we aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more
nutritious food for all people. In particular, we aim to make healthier food
choices more desirable, more available and more affordable. GAIN’s mission is
to advance nutrition outcomes by improving consumption of nutritious and safe
food for all people, especially those most vulnerable to malnutrition.

About the role

In 2018 GAIN and HarvestPlus entered into a partnership with a shared ambition
to expand coverage of biofortified nutrient dense foods in six targeted
countries where malnutrition is most pervasive. The focus is on biofortified
varieties of six highly promising crops, developed by HarvestPlus and its
partners.

GAIN and HarvestPlus have each developed products, technologies and delivery
tools that have demonstrably improved diet quality for hundreds of millions in
low income communities. The partnership will focus on expanding reach and
coverage of biofortified nutrient-enriched crops to consumers via market
channels, with a heavy emphasis on commercialization of both seed, and crops
as ingredients into the food system.
