How we create impact
Our vision is a world where every child has the right nutrition to achieve their full potential. We do this by raising money, creating partnerships and co-designing programmes to tackle malnutrition in Africa and Asia so communities can thrive.
Convening partnerships
We build partnerships that enable us to co-finance and co-design national nutrition programmes in countries with the highest need. We match sector partners together to best suit the communities we work with.
Scaling impact
We pool funds and create financial leverage so we can invest in bigger programmes that break down traditional silos in international development.
Designing sustainable solutions
We design and run programmes in partnership with local governments through to local communities, choosing the right implementers to suit local needs. Ensuring local ownership is key for us to ensure long-term sustainability.
Learning through monitoring and evaluation
We ensure rigorous monitoring, evaluation and learning, to ensure our programmes have the greatest impact possible and that knowledge can be shared.
