The London office provides GAIN with a presence in the UK’s international development community. The Government of the UK has been a leading actor in nutrition, particularly since the Global Hunger Event convened alongside the London Olympics in 2012 and the Nutrition for Growth Summit. GAIN UK leads engagement with the UK Department for International Development, seeking to influence their global agendas on nutrition and food systems. GAIN’s Policy and Advocacy team, based in London, spearheads efforts to bring GAIN’s priorities and learning to discussions in Whitehall.
