Happy , we are taking you to Kenya today! 🇰🇪

Kenya is full of incredible potential and driven by a vibrant, growing youth population. But to build a strong, thriving future, access to nutritious food is absolutely vital.

Right now, many communities in Kenya are still dealing with the "triple burden of malnutrition" where undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity exist at the very same time.

Through our joint partnerships, GAIN is working hard on the ground to change this by making safe, healthy foods more available and affordable for everyone. Our very own Ruth Okowa is sharing the full story in the video below! 👇

Quick trivia to test your knowledge: What percentage of Kenyans do you think actually get to consume enough fruits and vegetables in their daily diets?

⏰ Are you ready? Coming soon...

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the absolute backbone of our food systems, driving local economies and putting nutritious food on plates every single day.

To honour their impact, we are launching a special week-long campaign celebrating the bold innovators who are transforming the way we produce, process, and consume food.

🗓️ Mark your calendars: Follow us from 22nd–27th June as we spotlight these champions and dive into the future of food systems innovation.

Stay tuned as we kick off a week of stories, insights, and celebration on our socials and on our website linked here: https://www.gainhealth.org/events/gain-marks-world-msme-day-2026

Happy Wednesday 👋

🗓️ Starting today, we will be showcasing GAIN’s work in the countries where we operate! Over the coming weeks, we’ll be taking you behind the scenes around the world to show you how collaboratively we’re building healthier, more resilient food systems.

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 #𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮! 🇮🇳

Did you know that while India is now a food-surplus nation exporting staples worldwide, many families still face a critical gap between what is produced and what is consumed? Diets lack diversity, and high rates of micronutrient deficiencies still impact millions of women and young children.

🤝🏽 Since 2006, GAIN has worked hand-in-hand with funders, local partners and governments to change the narrative through real, scalable solutions. Join us in scaling these life-changing interventions even further!

In Mecúfi, Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique, part of the answer is now in place.

A newly inaugurated fish market is helping improve the way fish is preserved, handled and transported, with refrigeration systems, an ice plant, water and sanitation facilities, hygiene and processing kits, and a three-wheeler motor vehicle to support fish distribution.

For fishing communities, these investments can make a practical difference:

↘️ Reducing post-catch losses

📈 Improving food safety and hygiene

🛺 Supporting access to nearby markets

🐟 Increasing availability of nutritious fish

💼 Creating better conditions for local livelihoods

This is food systems strengthening in action: practical infrastructure that helps make nutritious foods more available, safer and more accessible.

Implemented with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Norway in Mozambique under the Strengthening Food Systems in Cabo Delgado project.

⏰ Taking you back to a high-level delegation visit to Rwanda as part of our Combating Malnutrition in Rwanda through Sustainable Food Systems (CMR-FS) programme!

From community-based ECD centres to smallholder farms cultivating High Iron Beans and sustainable poultry systems, delegates from the Swiss Embassy, MINAGRI, and the National Child Development Agency (NCDA) saw firsthand how a combined systems approach transforms lives on the ground.

Coordinated action across sectors is the blueprint for ending malnutrition. A huge thank you to the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, our local partners, and the leadership of Rutsiro District for hosting this impactful visit.

How do we secure the future of food? By acknowledging that sustainability and safety are linked.

Climate change is expected to increase temperatures and extreme weather events, which increases the risks for food contamination. As food systems become interconnected, ensuring food is safe at every stage from production to consumption is essential.

To solve this, we need:

1️⃣ Data: Collecting food safety data where it is currently lacking is necessary to make informed decisions.

2️⃣ Policy: Governments need adaptable, evidence-based policies suited to local contexts.

Food safety involves developing production methods that ensure safety while reducing water, energy, and resource use.

𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲; it connects our cultures, feeds our families, and nourishes our bodies. Yet, if it isn’t safe, it simply cannot fulfil its purpose of sustaining our health.

Ahead of 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟳, we are sharing a timely blog by Genet Gebremedhin, Head of Policy and Advocacy, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition - Ethiopia, exploring the invisible hazards in our food systems and how we can transition from burden to action.

🔴 The global reality is sobering. Newly updated 2026 World Health Organization (WHO) data reveals that the global burden of unsafe food is substantially higher than previously estimated, causing approximately 𝟴𝟲𝟲 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟭.𝟱𝟮 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 every single year. That means 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟭 𝗶𝗻 𝟵 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, leading to illnesses that are entirely preventable.

Food safety hazards can strike at any stage, from harvesting and processing to packaging, transport, and serving.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀:
🦠 Biological: Contamination from harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
🧪 Chemical: Exposure to toxic cleaning agents, heavy pesticides, or environmental toxins.
🧱 Physical: Hazardous fragments of glass, metal, or plastic entering the supply chain.

So why does having safe food everywhere matter, and why is it a shared responsibility across the food system?

Who is most at risk? While food safety affects everyone, the burden is not shared equally.

Children, pregnant women, older individuals, and immunocompromised people are at an increased risk for foodborne disease. The data shows that while children under 5 make up only 9% of the population, they account for 30% of foodborne deaths.

Furthermore, vulnerable populations often lack access to resources like clean water and electricity to ensure their food stays safe. Policies must support the resilience of these populations to ensure food safety during shocks and stressors.

🇺🇬 𝗥𝗙𝗣 𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬: 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮!

Uganda is facing a critical triple burden of malnutrition, and secondary school learners are caught right in the middle of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and rising overnutrition.

The numbers from a 2024 dietary assessment of 4,008 learners across 60 secondary schools in and around Kampala speak for themselves:

📉 Only 25% of learners consumed all five recommended food groups daily.
🍽️ School meals delivered a mere 29% of daily iron requirements.
🥤 98% of school canteens sold sugar-sweetened beverages completely without restriction.

No existing programme in Uganda addresses the urban secondary school food environment as an integrated system—until now. GAIN is launching an 18-month proof-of-concept pilot designed to test what works, at what cost, and under what conditions to generate evidence for a national scale-up.

Because this project feeds findings directly into Uganda’s active national school feeding policy development process, the independent evaluation is a core project output.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗪𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿:
We are seeking a rigorous, independent evaluation partner to act as a core thought partner throughout implementation. We need an organisation that will engage critically and constructively, bringing the intellectual rigour necessary to tell us exactly what the evidence shows. Your findings will be the primary basis on which GAIN and partners assess whether this integrated model merits a national scale-up.

If your organisation excels at complex programme evaluations, data-driven public health research, and policy-linked evidence generation, we want to partner with you.
