Working with experienced implementing partners and governments to support national nutrition programmes that deliver at scale
InvestmentsThe Power of Nutrition invests in the scale up of high impact and proven nutrition interventions in partnership with national governments and experienced implementing partners, in a collective effort to improve nutrition outcomes for women, mothers, babies and young children and significantly reduce stunting.
We fund large scale nutrition programmes in countries with the highest burdens of stunting, where stunting rates are 30 percent or higher, and at least 250,000 children under five are affected by stunting and prevented from reaching their full potential.
We currently have live investments in six countries, with further programmes planned in our pipeline. Each programmes is carefully designed to deliver impact at scale and is based around a core set of 11 interventions that have been proven to improve child and maternal nutrition outcomes in countries with the highest rates of undernutrition.

To achieve its long-term objectives, it is important to continue build on our existing portfolio and make new investments that support new nutrition programmes where they are needed most. The Power of Nutrition therefore has an ambitious pipeline of future investment programmes in countries with the highest burden of undernutrition and stunting.
We are currently working with partners towards entering new countries such as India – where the national stunting rate is 38.4 percent, representing nearly 47 million children, Nigeria – where the national stunting rate is 43.6 percent, representing nearly 14 million children, and Indonesia, where the national stunting rate is 37.2 percent, representing 9 million children.
To date, The Power of Nutrition has raised US$62 million from the private sector and through its leverage model has contributed to $360 million worth of programmes in six countries.
Results from the investments to date have been positive, with our first interventions in Tanzania and Liberia having already impacted the lives of 9 million people, including 7 million children under the age of 5 and 2 million women of reproductive age.
To assess the impact we are having, continually adapt our investment programmer to have maximum effect and to ensure that we are constantly improving how we work, we operate the highest standards of monitoring, evaluation and learning – to learn more please click here.
The Power of Nutrition works with partners with extensive experience in supporting governments to scale up nutrition interventions.
