About Nutrition International
Nutrition International (NI) is a global nutrition organization, which aims to transform the lives of vulnerable people, especially women, adolescent girls, and children, by improving their nutritional status and health, as these groups often have the greatest unmet needs. NI envisions a world where everyone, everywhere is free from malnutrition and able to reach their full potential. Nutrition International believes that good nutrition and gender equality are mutually reinforcing; improving nutrition is critical to achieving gender equality, and in turn improving gender equality leads to improved nutrition. Access to good nutrition is a universal human right and the potential to transform is closely linked to overcoming gender inequalities.
Nutrition International has a 30-year legacy of working to improve the nutrition, health, survival, and well-being of the most vulnerable – often women and girls. One billion women and girls are held back by malnutrition. Much of NI’s work has contributed to overcoming gender inequities in nutrition; yet a more intentional and systematic approach to mainstreaming gender equality into NI’s work offers potential to improve leverage, influence and coverage for deeper impact. Nutrition International’s Program Gender Equality Strategy takes a phased approach towards mainstreaming gender. The approach begins with capacity building and organization-wide gender equality training for staff and partner organizations.
