The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 seeks to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by the year 2030. Malnutrition, according to SDG 2, is in three forms: overnutrition, undernutrition and hidden hunger. The most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in children under 5 years, adolescent girls and pregnant women are undernutrition and hidden hunger. This form of malnutrition has an irreversible and detrimental effect on the vulnerable. An effective and sustainable method to reduce this menace is food fortification as a food-based nutritional approach in endemic communities. Cassava is a tropical crop widely consumed as an energy source in most households in various forms. Gari, a shelf-stable derivative of cassava, is a widely consumed West African staple food. Though widely consumed, it is less dense in essential nutrients to promote human growth. Due to its wide consumption, gari, if fortified with micronutrients and blended with soybean (protein), can be an excellent medium for food-based nutritional intervention in meeting SDG 2. Through scientific research, proGARI was developed. proGARI is a developed micronutrient-fortified soybean gari blend formulated to have the same cooking, sensory and eating qualities as conventional gari. Subsequent extensive research has found proGARI to have commercialisation potential and can be used as an excellent food-based nutritional policy in gari-consuming communities.
