To advance national and regional efforts, DInA launched the Manifesto for Accelerated Action on Large Scale Food Fortification and makes critical fortification data widely available to inform national policy and program decisions through the Global Fortification Data Exchange (GFDx). 1080213 108955 The Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Consortium (HMHB) hosts two Technical Advisory Groups composed of renowned scientists who continue to publish new evidence and guidance documents on maternal nutrition interventions: Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) and balanced energy-protein supplements. Among others, new outputs included guidance on Implementation Science and the use of MMS in Anaemia treatment. The 2nd Africa Maternal Nutrition and MMS meeting in Kenya, co-hosted with Kenya's State Department of Public Health, engaged over 130 leaders from 17 African countries in a dynamic sharing of experiences, and resulted in a Call to Action urging leaders to scale up maternal nutrition interventions, notably MMS as part of antenatal care services. 317959 16244 The Standing Together for Nutrition Consortium (ST4N) published the Global Resilience Report in partnership with UNICEF and the World Food Programme, which summarizes the impact and lessons of the poly-crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, and climate events, leading to crucial policy recommendations to safeguard nutrition during future crises. To support ST4N in collating and generating the evidence on the linkages between the climate and nutrition crises and policy solutions, a new multidisciplinary Steering Committee was formed. An overview of evidence and policy messages was presented at an I-CAN meeting at the Rome Nutrition Week, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS 52), and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 29). 222029 For Child Diet, a Regional Dialogue on Improving Access to Locally Produced, Nutritious and Safe Complementary Foods brought together 100 local producers, policy and regulatory authorities, funders and social impact investors, and technical organizations. Priorities for collective action were identified to overcome regulatory, finance, market, and demand barriers, and the African Network of Local Producers was initiated. 23698 Other program services 245727 3382344 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 DC X X Debra L Petrasek 2623700249 1201 Eye Street NW Floor 10 Washington DC 200055905 Shawn Baker Chairperson, Board Member 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Whisenant Vice Chairperson, Board Member 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Howarth Bouis Former Past Chairperson (Left 12/18/24) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kenneth Brown Board Member 1.00 X 5925 0 0 Anna Lartey Board Member 1.00 X 2000 0 0 Rajul Pandya-Lorch Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anabelle Bonvecchio Arenas Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marian Jakovcic Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Ambuko Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Naina Subberwal Batra Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Duggan Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Gilligan Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adeline Lescanne-Gautier Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Clayton Ajello Former Board Member (Left 9/30/24) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jay Solomon Former Board Member (Left 12/31/24) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Klaus Kraemer Former Board Member (Left 9/30/24) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Russ Hill Former Board Member (Left 6/19/24) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Saskia Osendarp Executive Director 40.00 X 218672 0 23508 Debra Petrasek CFO, Corporate Secretary, Treasurer 40.00 X 143772 0 42176 Martina van Liere Director of Programs 40.00 X 184922 0 69386 Cecilia Fabrizio Program Lead, ST4N 40.00 X 133365 0 22874 Martin Mwangi Program Lead, HMHB 40.00 X 130471 0 13009 Keith Lividini Sr. Technical Specialist (Left 9/30/24) 40.00 X 113992 0 20451 Shruthi Cyriac Senior Program Manager 40.00 X 105017 0 4744 1038136 0 196148 7 0 1 0 Double Beta Consulting 109 Howe Street Seattle WA 98109 Business Consulting 260667 1 362370 3424699 3787069 Contract Revenue 541900 125199 125199 125199 69 69 3912337 125199 0 69 X 107998 107998 293459 293459 690275 508236 118744 63295 895076 824694 70382 41554 38241 3313 60940 57663 3277 129115 109340 11683 8092 116141 116141 18000 18000 896164 867609 28555 166 166 23366 23149 217 38229 22064 16165 448400 448400 34261 34261 22033 3255 18778 Translation Services 38021 38021 0 0 Training & Development 3924 3814 110 0 Memberships & Dues 700 700 0 0 Registration Fees 374 374 2890 1440 1450 3861086 3382344 389355 89387 2739974 1815090 1175 247491 496468 5246 2150 115542 116878 98553 3356645 2281922 312978 91876 3035190 2130318 3348168 2222194 X 8477 59728 0 0 8477 59728 3356645 2281922 51251 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1405666 1877957 2845655 4153089 3787069 14069436 1405666 1877957 2845655 4153089 3787069 14069436 8635200 5434236 69 69 75 75 14069580 2073921 0.38620 0.40760 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 X 3912337 0 3912337 0 3912337 3861086 0 3861086 0 3861086 Part X, Line 2: Management has evaluated the Forum's tax positions and concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. 1 Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) 0 9 Program services, Fundraising DInA, HMHB, ST4N, CD 1166794 North America 0 4 Program services DInA, HMHB, ST4N 372395 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 7 Program services DInA, HMHB, CD 320384 South Asia 0 3 Program services DInA, HMHB, ST4N 81547 East Asia and the Pacific 0 1 Program services DInA, CD 31404 South America 0 0 Program services DInA 10800 Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) 0 0 Grants to recipients located in the region 135655 North America 0 0 Grants to recipients located in the region 113704 South America 0 0 Grants to recipients located in the region 10800 South Asia 0 0 Grants to recipients located in the region 11250 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grants to recipients located in the region 22050 0 24 0 0 0 24 2232683 44100 2276783 Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) Serve as data steward for oil and support overall execution of GFDx v4. 135655 Wire Transfer 0 North America Serve as data steward for salt and support overall execution of GFDx v4. 113704 Wire Transfer 0 South America Analyze and socialize data from the National Nutrition Survey in Colombia. 10800 Wire Transfer 0 South Asia Explore the connection between micronutrients in human milk and infant growth in Indian population. 11250 Wire Transfer 0 Sub-Saharan Africa Apply the Comprehensive Nutrient Gap Assessment method to assess micronutrient gaps in Malawian women. 10800 Wire Transfer 0 Sub-Saharan Africa Generation of National Food Consumption and Micronutrients Databases for Sierra Leone. 11250 Wire Transfer 0 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part I, Line 2: Micronutrient Forum monitors its sub-grants and assistance by maintaining regular communication with grantees and requiring timely submission of agreed-upon deliverables.
