- 3. By addressing these challenges With these solutions Then we can achieve Improved dietary diversity and consumption of nutritious foods among BoP populations and demonstrate this impact • Limited investment in strengthening supply chain constraints for nutritious foods such as cold chain, transport, packaging, marketing and consumption • Limited access to safe and affordable locally produced nutritious crops for BoP • Poor nutrition among farming populations and limited demand for nutritious and diverse diets among farming households • Scale Nutritious Commodity Value Chains • Shape local food systems for nutrition • Understand farmer constraints to better nutrition and promote better nutrition and feed practices among farming households • Increased availability of diverse nutritious foods for BoP populations • Increased affordability of diverse diets for BoP • Increased low income consumer demand for diverse diets • Improve farmer and BoP access to better nutrition GOAL: An affordable diversified diet for the poor and undernourished

- 17. Thank You Yes, we can transform Social Impact Investment to address the need for a more healthy affordable diet. How? By supporting SMEs producing nutritious food and supporting local markets for better access to poor consumers. Private sector, in particular local SMEs are key for improving nutrition and a nutrition sensitive Value chains approach is needed for improved impact and efficiency.

- In Mozambique, 32% of the total population lives in urban areas (2015) and it is growing at almost a 4% annual rate. Agriculture is a key component of the economy, contributing to 29% of GDP. 43% of children under 5 are stunted. In Maputo Province and Maputo City stunting rates among children under 5 are about 23% each. Despite Mozambique’s impressive growth and potential, 55% of the population lives below the poverty line, many of them live in urban and peri-urban areas. Micronutrient deficiencies are widespread: 69% of children under 5 are anemic, and 74% of children under 5 are vitamin A deficient, with negative impacts on growth, immunity and development. We need to rethink the definition of vulnerability. Poor people in urban areas rely mostly on the market to get their foods, are dependent on their wages and do not have the means to produce their own foods. We need make food systems more local in order to reduce transportation costs and prevent food waste and losses
- An estimated two billion people worldwide do not have access to diverse diets.1 As a result, they suffer from a lack of essential vitamins and minerals that causes blindness, impaired immune systems and even death. Agriculture—as the primary source of nutrients—could hold the key to addressing this deficit by finding ways to improve the nutritional quality of foods from farm to fork. The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is targeting nutritious agricultural value chains and shaping markets to ultimately deliver more diverse diets. To achieve this goal, GAIN has launched the Marketplace for Nutritious Foods, a platform that strengthens networks, fosters innovations and provides investment to transform local agriculture into affordable and nutritious foods. Through improved access, consumers, particularly women and children, benefit from diets that are diverse and nutritious. The Marketplace focuses on two key activities: Community of Practice and Innovation Accelerator. The Community of Practice (CoP) is a network of local entrepreneurs, investors and institutions in the agriculture-nutrition space. Through in-person convenings and online discussions, members of the CoP tackle issues and challenges that inhibit improvements in the quality and delivery of nutritious foods. Members also explore solutions, share lessons learned and exchange knowledge on market opportunities and policy improvements. The Innovation Accelerator is the engine that drives the scale up of viable and profitable nutritious food innovations. Members of the CoP from along the agricultural value chain are encouraged to submit proposals for innovative concepts that will increase access, affordability and diversity of nutritious foods for vulnerable populations. The Innovation Accelerator provides business planning support to ideas that will have an impact on nutrition, are innovative, meet the needs of the local market and rely on in-country resources. With business plans in place, GAIN provides a package of technical and/or financial assistance to support these enterprises and their concepts. The Marketplace will also attract additional investors who are interested in supporting profitable business ideas that improve nutrition. GAIN offers entrepreneurs access to their network of food manufacturers, regulators, marketers and business partners that has been cultivated over the past decade, as well as GAIN’s expertise in promoting and scaling up a range of nutritious foods and products. The Marketplace for Nutritious Foods has launched in Mozambique, Kenya and Tanzania.

We need to rethink the definition of vulnerability. Poor people in urban areas rely mostly on the market to get their foods, are dependent on their wages and do not have the means to produce their own foods. We need make food systems more local in order to reduce transportation costs and prevent food waste and losses Markets need to work for healthy diets. The demand for nutritious foods needs to meet to supply. We need to harness the power of markets to make this a reality. In an increasingly urbanized world, the urban poor and families who work in agriculture make choices based on what is available in the market. Despite working on crop-yielding farms, many agricultural families are undernourished and often hungry. According to the World Bank, BoP consumers spend $3.5 trillion on food every year and this is expected to grow. SMEs have being growing rapidly over the last decade, but still face many challenges which constrain them from playing a stronger role in the food system: from access to technologies, credit, infrastructure and lack of demand for nutritious foods. GAIN, with support from USAID and the Feeding the Future initiative, created the Marketplace for Nutritious Foods, a program designed to foster innovation and support promising businesses that produce heathy, safe and affordable for low income consumers. The program, organized in three components, provides financing facilities, trainings, infrastructures and technical assistance. Supporting entrepreneurs, many of whom are women, is critical to ensure the success of their businesses and improve dietary diversity. Initially launched in four East African countries, GAIN’s marketplace is currently supporting 37 companies and has reviewed almost 800 business plans.

- Servings of nutritious foods have been calculated by dividing total reported production volumes by standard serving sizes (100g for vegetables, 250mL for milk, 100g for chicken, 100g for fish, etc.). Over the course of the FY16 reporting period, the Marketplace in Mozambique has enabled companies in Mozambique to produce over 4.4 million servings of nutritious foods. The Marketplace project has been diversifying the range of products supported and made available to the market. Food products range from fish, goat meat, beef, pork and vegetables to corn-soya blend, soya yogurt milk and peanut butter. By making these products available to the market at prices accessible to low-income consumers, GAIN has been contributing to combating malnutrition, through the development of food systems that provide access to diverse, nutritious diets.
