The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), a Swiss-based foundation, launched in 2002 at the UN General Assembly to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition, is calling on women and youth-led agribusinesses, farmers associations, and cooperatives to apply for its Microgrant Funding Opportunity.

This third edition of the Microgrant is a funding opportunity for nutritious food businesses with food products from Vitamin A Maize, Vitamin A Cassava, and Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potato, operating in Kaduna, Benue, Nasarawa, and Oyo states.

Agribusinesses are vital to Nigeria’s economy, contributing significantly to employment generation, food security, and overall economic development. However, access to finance has been a persistent challenge for agribusinesses in the country, limiting their growth and potential impact. One of the primary obstacle faced by agribusinesses in Nigeria is financing for innovative agribusiness solutions.

Through its Strengthening Nutrition in Priority Staples (SNiPS) Project, GAIN is seeking to provide an opportunity for over 40 nutritious food businesses to access micro-grant funding in Nigeria.
