PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF WORK

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.

1. Background

Pakistan faces acute malnutrition challenges, with dietary diversity and access to affordable protein

sources being a major gap. At the same time, large quantities of whey water from the dairy industry are

wasted, creating both environmental and economic challenges.

The Whey2Value Project, led by GAIN in partnership with Arla Food Ingredients (AFI), Danish Industry

(DI), and local dairies, seeks to address this issue by repurposing whey water into affordable,

nutritious whey-based products.

This initiative aims to:

  • Reduce food waste by converting whey into valuable nutrition.
  • Provide affordable, protein-enriched products to consumers.
  • Develop a scalable and sustainable business model for local dairies.

The project will be piloted in selected cities with a soft launch in 2025 and a national product launch

in 2026.
