without malnutrition. GAIN is a Swiss based
international organization that builds and supports innovative partnerships among the public

necessary for people, communities and economies to be stronger and healthier. With a current reach of over 700 million people (half of whom

populations around the world through access to sustainable nutrition solutions.

strategy and scientific evidence, GAIN is implementing an integrated
market-based delivery and public sector delivery approach to improve maternal and
infant nutrition practices, and maternal and infant nutritional status with the
objective to reduce stunting. The project has the following main components:
- Behavior Change: multi-channel behavior change interventions, using mass-media, community activation as well as interpersonal communication with three main messages regarding infant feeding practices; two maternal nutrition messages as well as a message on hand-washing with soap.
- Health System Strengthening: strengthening the delivery of nutrition services through the health system (puskesmas and posyandu), particularly around maternal and child care and nutrition.
- Nutritious Products: improved access and availability of high-quality nutritious products for children and women through the market or through the public delivery system, by the provision of technical assistance to food producers in order to re-formulate products and improve Code compliance.
