Nigeria, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan have been named among the highest contributors to the global burden of malnutrition coming after Ethiopia.
This was made known by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition in a statement made available to Ripples Nigeria announcing the launch of the Scaling Up Nutrition Business Network (SBN).
The SBN is to support small and medium-sized entrepreneurs involved in Ethiopia’s food sector to increase the availability and affordability of safe, nutritious food.
The SBN is one of four global networks within the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement which supports 61 Countries, including Ethiopia, to develop a multi-stakeholder approach to scale up and invest in nutrition.
There are so many business opportunities for the private sector to engage in the nutrition agenda of Ethiopia. GAIN facilitates the Sun Business Network in Ethiopia to bring businesses together, to facilitate partnerships, build capacity, identify challenges, and support solutions,” the statement quoted Ton Haverkort, Country Director GAIN Ethiopia.
