Manager, Nutrition Advocacy

7:25:00 PM
The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) is an independent philanthropic organisation, headquartered in London with offices in Nairobi and New Delhi.  We work with a wide range of partners seeking to transform the lives of poor and vulnerable children in developing countries. 
We aim to play a catalytic role as a funder and influencer to deliver urgent and lasting change at scale. Our ambitious strategy for our children and mothers’ health and nutrition programme focuses on reducing stunting and wasting in five priority geographies in Africa and South Asia and increasing funding and political will for nutrition globally. Although nutrition has gained more prominence in recent years, it still remains a marginal issue in development.
In 2013, CIFF made an ambitious pledge to commit $700m to nutrition by 2020 under the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) compact.
