Abstract
Food fortification for impact: a data-driven approach.
Highlights
The importance of scientific evidence to guide nutrition policy and programme design is well established.[1]
When foods are sold on the market, it is difficult for health information or surveillance systems to track their use
The big question remains: how to garner the resources and political commitment needed for the generation and use of evidence for programme decisionmaking in nutrition broadly and food fortification ? This question was high on the agenda at the first Global Summit on Food Fortification in Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania from 9 to 11 September 2015
Summary
The importance of scientific evidence to guide nutrition policy and programme design is well established.[1]. The World Health Organization, as part of the Comprehensive Implementation Plan on Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition,[7] has called for renewed and coordinated efforts to better track programme coverage and to build systems for data-driven decision-making.
