Tenders Are Invited Forconsultant to Support the Development of a Case Study on School Meal Programs in Mexico
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 with both governments and businesses, we
aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more nutritious food for all people.
At GAIN, we believe that everyone in the world should have access to nutritious and safe food. We work to
understand and deliver specific solutions to the daily challenge of food insecurity faced by poor people. By
understanding that there is no “one-size-fits-all” model, we develop alliances and build tailored programmes,
using a variety of flexible models and approaches.
We build alliances between governments, local and global businesses, and civil society to deliver
sustainable improvements at scale. We are part of a global network of partners working together to create
sustainable solutions to malnutrition. Through alliances, we provide technical, financial and policy support to
key participants in the food system. We use specific learning, evidence of impact, and results of projects and
programmes to shape and influence the actions of others.
Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, GAIN has representative offices in Denmark, The Netherlands, the
United Kingdom, and the United States. In addition, we have country offices in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India,
Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Tanzania. Programmes and projects are carried out
in a variety of other countries, particularly in Africa and Asia
School feeding programs constitute a multisectoral transformative factor that improves educational outcomes, child health and nutrition, as well as gender equity. In a broader sense, these programs support the entire community by providing an important safety net and strengthening local food systems and economies (WFP, 2024).
As part of the School Meals Coalition, GAIN is dedicated to supporting governments in improving and establishing sustainable national school feeding programs, with the goal of ensuring every child has access to healthy and nutritious food at school by 2030. In collaboration with its intellectual partner, the Global Child Nutrition Foundation (GCNF), GAIN seeks to document successful implementation experiences of multi-component school programs, with emphasis on learning about experiences that promote the sourcing of products from local small producers and businesses. The Government of Mexico implements a notable example of these programs.
