Amsterdam initiative against malnutrition (AIM)
Malnutrition is a serious problem among people, in particular mothers and children, at the base of the Pyramid in sub-Sahara Africa and Southeast Asia. Both hunger and lack of micronutrients are affecting millions of people. In this project, a large consortium of both local and Dutch seed, food and fortificants producers retailers, 2 Dutch knowledge institutes, a number of NGOs and a local Ministry is led by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) aiming to break barriers and to provide complete value chain solutions for nutritious foods, from affordable raw materials to available and accessible nutritious foods. The programme contains the ideas of AIM partners in the AIM platform that are worked out into seven separate projects (workstreams) plus an umbrella layer (Support workstream). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is both member of the AIM platform, as well as part of this partnership.
