Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a public health problem all around the world, affecting more than 100 countries [1]. A lack of vitamin A weakens the immune system, putting a child at greater risk of disease and early death; and it is also the leading cause of preventable child blindness. The solution for correcting vitamin A deficiency lies in improving the child’s diet – through increased consumption of vitamin A-rich foods, naturally rich or commercially fortified foods such as processed oils or sugar.
In countries where this remains a public health problem, and while food-based solutions are gradually being implemented and scaled-up to reach those populations, giving children 6 to 59 months of age two doses of vitamin A per year can impact a child’s health. Specifically, the range of impact on deaths averted can range from a lower bound cause-specific effect size of 28% (diarrheal deaths averted) to an upper bound of 12%-24% all-cause mortality reduction [2].
Nutrition International is committed to supporting vitamin A supplement (VAS) programs for children 6 to 59 months of age in settings where VAD is a public health problem, as one of the most cost-effective ways to improve child survival.
The main aims of NI’s VAS program in Senegal are to:
These activities are being implemented in partnership with the Directorate of Reproductive Health and Child Survival/Ministry of Health, the National VAS Technical Working Group, and UNICEF. This work is being completed sub-nationally by continued support to 31 districts across five regions (Kaffrine, Kolda, Thiès, Saint Louis and Dakar). NI support to Senegal’s VAS program began in 1999 and is ongoing.

In December 2015, Nutrition International officially launched the “Projet intégré de nutrition dans les régions de Kolda et de Kédougou”, also known as “PINKK”. This project is a collaboration built around an innovative, integrated and multifaceted approach to improving nutrition for Senegal's most vulnerable people. PINKK targets two high burden regions in Senegal, Kedougou (counties of Kedougou, Salemata and Saraya) and Kolda (counties of Kolda, Velingara and Medina Yero Foula).
The Integrated Nutrition Project for the Kolda and Kedougou Regions links health care, agriculture (including livestock) and business with the aim of improving nutritional health and food security for people in these regions, particularly for women and young children.
The key components of PINKK focus on the following:
Over the course of 5 years, the PINKK partnership will reach:
PINKK, is a collaborative effort between Nutrition International, World Vision Senegal, World Vision Canada, Développement International Desjardins and the Government of Senegal's Cellule de Lutte Contre la Malnutrition (CLM).
