Globally, more than two billion people, including women and children, do not get the micronutrients they need to survive and thrive. The impacts of micronutrient deficiencies are devastating for individuals, families, and entire countries. COVID-19 has further strained the health systems, which has led to severe and widespread increase in global food insecurity and acute food shortage in almost every country.

1. Empower is engaged with GAIN’s nutrition programs in India and Nigeria to implement effective and sustainable food fortification interventions at scale, using creative yet applicable ways of improving the capacities of industry personnel, government officials, food safety officials, technical food fortification professionals, and academia on food and micronutrient analysis.

Empower has designed Incremental Learning Approach (ILA) by developing eLearning courses and learning management systems with an intent to professionalize the workforce. Our accredited and certified training programme trains technical staff involved in food fortification and micronutrient analysis activities.
