The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss-based foundation
launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by
malnutrition. Working in alliances with government, business, academia, and
beneficiaries, we aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more
nutritious and safe food for all people, especially the most vulnerable.
GAIN's Indonesia Postharvest Loss Alliance for Nutrition (IPLAN) project
facilitated the establishment of the Jejaring Pasca-Panen untuk Gizi Indonesia
(JP2GI), based on a decree from the Director of Community Nutrition, Ministry
of Health which mandates cooperation with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and
Fisheries. In September 2019, JP2GI became a fully independent association
(www.jp2gi.org<http://www.jp2gi.org>).
Description
Overall Purpose:
As a leader in identifying and delivering solutions to address malnutrition,
GAIN seeks to strengthen the value chain for nutritious food thus making
nutritious diets more affordable and accessible for vulnerable populations. To
this end, we take a market-based approach, promoting investment in local
private enterprises along the value chain. With our new strategy, we hope to
reach a formative, sustainable and scalable solution to food insecurity and
malnutrition.
GAIN Indonesia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of
Health, Republic of Indonesia to assist public nutrition improvement programs.
One of these is IPLAN, which set up the JP2GI to bring together the multitude
of public and private sector actors addressing the issue to collectively reduce
loss and waste of nutritious fish. With support from GAIN, JP2GI has developed
