About Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition - Uganda
GAIN Uganda, established in 2007, is part of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition’s global mission to end malnutrition by improving access to nutritious and safe food. Operating in alignment with Uganda’s Vision 2040 and the Uganda Nutrition Action Plan II.
GAIN Uganda addresses the country’s triple burden of malnutrition—undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and diet-related non-communicable diseases. Through multi-sectoral partnerships and a systems approach, GAIN Uganda focuses on industrial fortification, biofortification, food safety, consumer behaviour change, and strengthening MSMEs.
The program works closely with government, civil society, and the private sector to create sustainable food systems and ensure affordable, nutritious diets for all, particularly women, children, and other vulnerable groups.
Key interventions include the Vegetables for All and CASCADE projects, which have promoted vegetable consumption, supported over 300 SMEs, trained 427 private sector players, and reached over 3 million individuals with nutrition messages. GAIN also leads the SUN Business Network in Uganda and advocates for gender-sensitive and climate-resilient nutrition solutions.
By embedding inclusivity, environmental sustainability, and evidence-based advocacy in its work, GAIN Uganda continues to play a pivotal role in transforming food systems and improving public health outcomes across the country.
