The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) has officially launched NutriInvest, a pioneering online framework designed to help impact investors identify, assess, and compare the nutrition impact potential of enterprises and projects. The tool makes it easier than ever to integrate nutrition outcomes into investment decisions and track progress across portfolios.
NutriInvest was unveiled at the GIIN Impact Forum 2025 in Berlin, where GAIN engaged with development finance institutions, private impact investors, fund managers, and impact measurement organisations. The vibrant discussions underscored a growing consensus: nutrition is investable, and financial returns can go hand in hand with measurable social impact.
Developed in collaboration with Wellspring Development and funded by USAID, NutriInvest is part of GAIN’s investor engagement workstream under the Nourishing Food Pathways (NFP) program, jointly supported by multiple international partners including the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Irish Aid, BMZ (Germany), SDC (Switzerland), Global Affairs Canada, and the European Union.
Key Features of NutriInvest include a nutrition-lens framework, portfolio assessment capabilities, and tools for stakeholder engagement, enabling investors to make informed, nutrition-focused investment decisions.
By bridging the gap between nutrition impact and investment strategy, NutriInvest represents a significant step forward in mobilizing private capital for healthier, more sustainable food systems.
