The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is driven by the vision of a world without malnutrition. GAIN is a Swiss based international organization that mobilizes public-private partnerships and provides financial and technical support to deliver nutritious foods to those people most at risk of 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 in Tanzania which suffers high rates of micronutrient deficiency and stunting.
GAIN and the World Food Programme (WFP) have been appointed as convenors of the Business Network. GAIN is therefore looking for a self-motivated, team player to lead the development and implementation of Tanzania’s Scaling Up Nutrition Business Engagement Strategy.
