The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the Nigeria Climate Innovation Centre (NCIC) have granted $16,000 to four Nigerian innovators in a bid to encourage the consumption of safe and nutritious foods in Nigeria.
Mr. Michael Ojo, the Country Director of GAIN, explained that the initiative aims to transform the country’s food systems, marking the successful conclusion of the Agribusiness Innovation Challenge.
This challenge, conducted under the Business Support workstream of the Strengthening Nutrition in Priority Staples (SNIPS) project, was designed to enhance the production, commercialization, and consumption of safe and nutritious foods in Nigeria.
GAIN, a Swiss-based foundation launched at the United Nations in 2002, focuses on addressing human suffering caused by malnutrition.
The Nigeria Climate Innovation Centre (NCIC), supported by the World Bank and the Federal Government, works to develop and deploy solutions to climate change challenges in Nigeria by providing venture development, capacity building, market access, and funding to viable green businesses.
