community to thrive.

Get Started

Millers for Nutrition aims to make producing correctly fortified, nutritious food easier and more rewarding for millers.

Millers for Nutrition aims to encourage, enable, and celebrate
millers who increase the availability of correctly fortified foods
among local populations and, as a result, reduce malnutrition
and improve public health.

Millers for Nutrition celebrates millers for fortifying well, strengthening their brand equity and reputation for quality.

Millers for Nutrition enables millers to be recognized for
fortification by inviting them to join a public platform that
generates visibility and rewards for good fortification
performance.
Millers for Nutrition offers millers a platform to show key
stakeholders that they are fortifying correctly through visibility in
national and international media and at events.
This visibility will strengthen their reputation and brand as quality
food processors, which may in turn create benefits such as:

Increased market share and sales
Recognition from government
Improved access to finance

Millers for Nutrition encourages millers to fortify through motivational events and an annual ranking of brand’s fortification performance.

Events create opportunity for millers to join Millers for Nutrition
and improve fortification performance. Several types of events
will be used to mobilize and motivate millers including:

Sector-wide trainings and motivational workshops invite
millers to acquire new skills.
An annual CEO Forum puts a spotlight on the industry and best
performing companies.

An annual rating index creates motivation to join Millers for
Nutrition and encourages a ”race to the top” in fortification
performance. This rating already exists in Nigeria and Kenya –
the Micronutrient Fortification Index (MFI), the kenya Micronutrient
Fortification Index (KMFI) and it will be replicated in other
countries.

Milling companies are rated based on their own reports and
independent testing.
Competition drives participation in the ranking

Millers for Nutrition enables millers to fortify through access to a comprehensive set of services to help them to fortify to the right standard.

Millers who sign up to Millers for Nutrition will benefit from free
access to:

Technical support: Millers can attend workshops to learn about
fortification best practices. They can also receive bilateral
support on specific issues from the supporting partners.
Testing: It is intended that millers will receive support in testing
their products in the factory. They also benefit from premix
testing, ensuring the premix used contains adequate levels of
micronutrients
Technical toolbox: Millers have access to digital tools and
resources, including guidelines and fortification data.

Transparency on testing results is an important element of Millers for Nutrition.

The Millers for Nutrition coalition intends to drive greater
transparency on fortification results to improve individual
accountability, and to assess if and how miller fortification
performance is improving.
Members commit to sharing information about their fortification
activities. This reporting mechanism creates visibility on who is
fortifying correctly – and who is not. This visibility creates
incentives for millers to join the coalition, and to start fortification.
It also allows partners of the coalition to see where gaps exist,
and strategically reach out to millers in underserved areas.
