Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN)
This discussion will delve into how the Business Platform for Nutrition Research (BPNR) brings together multiple sectors with a common interest in nutrition research. We will look at how the BPNR uses public-private engagement to define, fund and extend new research to help improve nutrition for people in low and middle-income countries. Launched at the UN General Assemble in 2013, co-funded by the Government of Canada and hosted by GAIN, the BPNR currently supports a diverse range of projects, from the Elevator Pitch Contest for Aflatoxin Control to the development of Gallup's Diet-Quality Questionnaire.
