Yes, we can transform Social Impact Investment to address the need for a more healthy affordable diet.

How? By supporting SMEs producing nutritious food and supporting local markets for better access to poor consumers.

Private sector, in particular local SMEs are key for improving nutrition and a nutrition sensitive Value chains approach is needed for improved impact and efficiency.
