ATNi signs agreement with Renaissance Philanthropy

ATNi’s Executive Director, Greg Garrett, will be seconded on a part-time basis to serve as the Fund’s interim lead as a Senior Fellow at Renaissance over the next four months while he continues to direct ATNi. Over this four-month period, Greg will work with an interdisciplinary team at Renaissance Philanthropy to design, resource and advance large-scale nutrition interventions which are capable of preventing millions of deaths once implemented.  The interventions being explored include potassium enrichment of salt, nutritious crop breeding, grain processing, private sector engagement, and innovative financing to improve nutrition outcomes.  While this scope of work expands upon the current focus of ATNi, both organizations seek large-scale nutrition impacts globally.
