The Commercialisation of Biofortified Crops Programme under the GAIN-Harvest Plus partnership is working with commercial value chain actors — seed producers, farmers, aggregators, and processors — to catalyse commercial markets for biofortified seeds, grains and food products (for Iron Pearl Millet and Zinc Wheat) in six states of India to address malnutrition.
As the implementation research partner, we are developing the Programme Impact Pathway (PIP) results in framework and the key performance indicators for the programme partners. We are guided by the Implementation Science in Nutrition (ISN) framework and mixed-methods data collection & analysis. We are also helping GAIN & Harvest Plus capture critical programmatic lessons and are providing feedback on the implementation process at periodic intervals. A pre-post cross section research design has been constructed to measure the outcomes and impact.
