Partners

All of IGN’s work happens through dynamic and different partnerships with governments, the private sector and civil society.

We work with international organizations, including UNICEF, WHO, Nutrition International (NI), the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the Micronutrient Forum (MNF) in different areas – from program implementation to advocacy to promote the fortification of staple foods with essential micronutrients, including iodine. Through Iodine Coalition Europe, we collaborate with representatives of the salt, food and iodine industries, as well as research and patient organizations.

We are supported by donors that include Founders Pledge, the Gates Foundation, The Life You Can Save and CanadaHelps.

IGN believes that working in partnership with government, industry and other stakeholders is the way forward both in Europe and other regions, especially as evidence of re-emergence of the problem in other areas of the world is growing.

Some examples of how we work with partners are highlighted in the boxes below.
