Alliance for Inclusive and Nutritious Food Processing (AINFP) is a partnership between USAID, TechnoServe, and Partners in Food Solutions (PFS) that aims to create a more competitive food-processing sector. The AINFP program leverages the power of the private sector to create better nutritional outcomes for base-of-the-pyramid consumers and more profitable market opportunities for local farmers. This is achieved by supporting local food processing companies in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Ethiopia and Malawi through remote technical assistance and training from world leading food processing companies under PFS to increase the availability of safe, affordable, and nutritious food. Learn more about the AINFP program on www.ainfp.org.
The Alliance for Inclusive and Nutritious Food Processing (AINFP) unlocks potential by providing technical assistance and sector-wide training to food processors. The five-year public-private partnership leverages the power of the private sector to create better nutritional outcomes for vulnerable consumers and more profitable market opportunities for local farmers.
Employee volunteers from Partners in Food Solutions’ member companies – General Mills, Cargill, DSM, Bühler, The Hershey Company, Ardent Mills and The J.M. Smucker Company – and TechnoServe staff apply their expertise to help processors of nutritious foods, including supplementary and therapeutic foods, address the manufacturing and business challenges that limit their growth. Additionally, ISF Advisors, a project partner, works with financial institutions and other actors to help food processors access the financing they need to grow.

The Russian war in Ukraine is hitting the global food supply chain and impacting prices of raw materials (largely wheat and sunflower oil), fertilizer, and fuel, which limit production, and increased costs that depress sales. This shapes manufacturers’ supply chain strategies and has greatly affected the food processing industry, despite Africa being far from the conflict zone.
AINFP is supporting processors to seek solutions to ensure their business survival and reduce the effects on the food industry in Africa.
