Political Economy Decision Toolkit for Food Systems Pathways – In Brief

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) developed a Political Economy Decision Toolkit to help practitioners navigate policy bottlenecks in food system reforms. This toolkit addresses six critical domains: policy stability, stakeholder preferences, multi-sectoral and multi-level coordination, financing, and administrative capacity. By identifying political and institutional barriers early, the toolkit provides metrics and strategies to enhance food systems transformation. It encourages proactive solutions to political and economic challenges that hinder nutrition and agricultural reforms.
