Perspective from 2021 The Challenges of Sustaining Multiple Micronutrient Interventions

Abstract

In our original article in 2015, we focused on the process of scaling up micronutrient powders (MNPs). We defined scaling as a four-stage process that included: research and discovery; setting up a supply (value) chain; developing business models for implementation; and finally scaling up (original Figure 3). We defined scaling as the intentional process of taking an intervention that has been successful in one context, and expanding or replicating the relevant policies, programs, or projects to other locations so that the intervention can benefit more people in an equitable and sustainable way.
