ACCESS TO NUTRITION INDEX GLOBAL INDEX 2013
Acknowledgements
FUNDERS The Access to Nutrition Index (ATNI) would not have been possible without the generous support of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust. ATNI was developed by GAIN’s Innovative Finance Program. Led by Chris Walker, the ATNI development team consisted of Michael Park and Valerie Pillonel, along with external consultants Craig Courtney, Rachel Crossley, and Graham Sinclair. The team also drafted this report on the Global Index. Additional advice was provided by Dominic Schofield. As noted in the report, the ATNI development team drew on the expertise and advice of two multi-stakeholder advisory groups, the Independent Advisory Panel and the Expert Group. Their close engagement throughout the ATNI development process was a source of invaluable guidance, and this report benefited in innumerable ways from their input and advice. The views expressed in this report, however, do not necessarily reflect the views of these two groups’ members or of their institutions.
RESEARCH SUPPORT
MSCI ESG Research is responsible for the scoring and ranking of company performance for the Access to Nutrition Index.
