PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF WORK

1. ABOUT GAIN

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss-based foundation launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with both governments and businesses, we aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more nutritious food for all people. At GAIN, we believe that everyone in the world should have access to nutritious and safe food. We work to understand and deliver specific solutions to the daily challenge of food insecurity faced by poor people. By understanding that there is no “one-size-fits-all” model, we develop alliances and build tailored programmes,using a variety of flexible models and approaches.We build alliances between governments, local and global businesses, and civil society to deliver sustainable improvements at scale. We are part of a global network of partners working together to create sustainable solutions to malnutrition. Through alliances, we provide technical, financial and policy support to key participants in the food system. We use specific learning, evidence of impact, and results of projects and programmes to shape and influence the actions of others. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, GAIN has representative offices in Denmark, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In addition, we have country offices in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Tanzania. Programmes and projects are carried out in a variety of other countries, particularly in Africa and Asia.

2. BACKGROUND

Climate change impacts nutrients in crops. The years with the largest annual carbon dioxide growth tend to be associated with the strongest El Niño (the warm phase of a natural climate pattern) causing increased land and ocean temperatures and an expansion of global drought areas (NOAA, 2025). There are two main pathways through which climate change affects nutrition. The first is due to elevated CO2 and the second is due to climate variability and its impacts such as increased temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, droughts, and floods.

A study on climate change impacts to nutritional content of staple foods and horticulture crops is also important to support decision-making related to fortification and biofortification programs in the RPJMN 2030-2034. This study will be conducted in collaboration with Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) to support nutrition integration in climate policies in Indonesia. This study will provide evidence for raising awareness of integrating nutrition into Climate Resilience Development (PBI) () policy and will be followed by subsequent studies to support readiness for integration into the RPJMN 2030-2034.

3. SCOPE OF STUDY

To measure magnitude of climate impact, its spatial location, and its temporal projection, using the PBI approach
