Fortifying commonly-eaten grains such as wheat, maize flour and rice is among the easiest and least expensive ways to prevent disease, strengthen immune systems and nurture a healthy and productive next generation.[1] Nutrition International leads and supports grain fortification efforts in low- and middle– income countries through a number of programs. Fortifying grains with iron and folic acid is an effective way to prevent anaemia and neural tube defects in a population.[2]
Nutrition International partners with the government of Kenya to implement maize flour fortification in Kenya by:
- Facilitating policy, guidelines, standards and strategic plan development to strengthen enabling environment for fortification, including development and launch of the National Food Fortification Strategic Plan (2018-2022).
- Providing support for development of micronutrient standards for fortification, quality control system, and monitoring and evaluation mechanism including surveys and assessments.
- Supporting the National Food Fortification Program through capacity building of and provision of production and customized business advisory services for pre-selected medium-scale maize four millers.
- Strengthening capacity of the regulatory agencies to undertake monitoring and enforcement of food fortification regulations.
NI, in collaboration with TechnoServe, is working closely with the Ministry of Health and Kenya Bureau of Standards to ensure implementation of the planned activities.
Food fortification in Kenya is being supported through public-private partnership coordinated by the Ministry of Health – Nutrition and Dietetics Unit, under the Kenya National Fortification Alliance with membership from government (Kenya Bureau of Standards, National Public Health Laboratories, Food safety Unit), development/implementing partners (NI, GAIN, Techno Serve), UN agencies (UNICEF, WFP), academia and research institutions (Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology-JKUAT, Kenya Medical Research Institute-KEMRI), premix suppliers, and industry associations for maize, wheat flour and salt (Cereal Millers association-CMA, United Grain Millers association-UNGMA, Kenya salt manufacturers-KESAMA). Funding for this program began in 2015 and will continue until 2020.

In Bangladesh, rice fortification is supported by the government, and The World Food Programme (WFP) is supporting rice fortification in 12 districts with funding from the Netherlands government. Under a joint workplan, NI and WFP agreed to support the government and rice millers with capacity building towards strengthening the supply chain, monitoring, quality control, awareness creation and production of fortified rice in 35 upzillas from 2017 onward. NI also developed standard operating procedures and provided training for the rice millers, as well as established a local laboratory capacity for the testing of fortified rice kernels and fortified rice product.
This intervention is being implemented in partnership with Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs, Ministry of Food, Department of Women Affairs, Directorate General of Food, Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution, Institute of Food Science and Technology, WFP and Rice Millers. It is being implemented sub-nationally in 3 upazillas of 12 districts (Kurigram, Sirajganj, Bogra, Shatkhira, Khulna, Bagerhat, Gopalganj, Bhola, Gazipur, Sylhet, Sunamganj and Netrokona).

It is a cost effective strategy to deliver key micronutrients to a large population. Fortifying commonly-eaten grains such as wheat, maize flour and rice is among the easiest and least expensive ways to prevent disease, strengthen immune systems and nurture a healthy and productive next generation.[1] Nutrition International leads and supports grain fortification efforts in low- and middle – income countries through a number of programs. Fortifying grains with iron and folic acid is an effective way to prevent anaemia and neural tube defects in a population.[2]
In August 2018, the government published new standards for mass food fortification, including high-extraction atta wheat flour. The Government of India also recommends the introduction of food fortification in its existing social safety net programs as a strategy to improve nutrition and address micronutrient deficiencies among the population.
In India, Nutrition International is providing technical support to the Gujarat Roller Flour Millers Association through the following activities, as an efforts to introduce fortified wheat flour into the open market:
- Conducted an industry assessment to understand the capacity of roller flour millers to produce fortified wheat flour and to assess the preparedness of the distribution channel.
- Developed a training module on the production and QA/QC process for fortifying wheat flour.
- Developed a Behaviour Change Communication strategy and communication prototypes on the benefits of fortified wheat flour. These prototypes were developed to be customized by millers for their brand.
- Supported the Gujarat Roller Flour Miller’s Association to set up a laboratory to monitor the quality of fortified wheat flour produced by the millers.
- Continued advocacy for an enabling policy environment for the introduction of fortified wheat flour through social safety programs of the state.
These activities are being implemented in partnership with the Gujarat Roller Flour Millers Association and Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, Government of India.
In 2017, 29,732 MTs of additional adequately fortified wheat flour was produced by NI-supported millers which would benefit 561,398 individuals. NI has provided long-standing support to food fortification in India.

Meeting nutrient needs is a prerequisite to preventing malnutrition, in combination with other proven health interventions.
In March 2016, Mott MacDonald as the Management Lead, with Nutrition International (NI) as the Technical Lead were awarded a 5-year grant with the main objective of fortifying commercially produced wheat flour (with iron, folic acid, vitamin B12 and zinc) and edible oil/ghee (with vitamins A and D) throughout Pakistan. This is one of the largest fortification programs in the world and it is expected to reach ~150 million people with fortified food staples.
The program aims to cover more than 100 edible oil/ghee mills and over 1,000 wheat flour mills to ensure adequate fortification. It will achieve its objectives by:
- Providing technical assistance to federal, provincial and special area governments by:
- Supporting legislation and development of standards and specifications
- Strengthening public/private management for food control/QA
- Supporting the development and implementation of a monitoring system
- Facilitating financial sustainability for the regulators
- Identifying equipment needs and providing feeders
- Supporting procurement, importation, storage and distribution of a sustainable supply of high-quality premix to the industry
- Assisting in-mill quality control
- Assisting wheat flour and vegetable oil/ghee industries by:
- Raising public awareness of the nutritional benefits of fortified food by conducting public advocacy, media and communications campaigns, to generate demand for fortified staples.
- Supporting research and evidence generation for food fortification to inform programme implementation. This includes an assessment of impact through the measurement of red blood cell folate in women of reproductive age.

The immediate aim of this project is to demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of using the secondary school platform to deliver iron-folic acid (IFA) within a package of services including soil-transmitted helminth (STH) treatment, WASH interventions, and behavior change interventions, to improve the nutrition and health status of adolescent girls in secondary schools in selected districts in Bangladesh. The lessons learned from this program model and costing data will then inform policy recommendations regarding future scale up for investment by GoB and its investment partners. Johnson & Johnson is the provider of deworming treatment through their global technical partner, Children Without Worms (CWW).
The primary objectives of the project are:
- Identify an appropriate and effective delivery mechanism for the provision of an integrated package of interventions including IFA, STH treatment, WASH, and behavior change intervention (BCI) to adolescents via the secondary school platform (grades 8, 9, and 10).
- Identify key factors that would optimize the implementation efficiency and cost-effectiveness of delivering the integrated package to the target group.
- Enhance the intake of IFA supplementation and STH treatment among adolescent boys and girls.
- Reduce the prevalence of anemia and improve iron nutrition among adolescent girls.
- Improve the overall health and nutrition status of adolescent boys and girls.
- Reduce prevalence of STH infection and decrease worm load among adolescent boys and girls.
- Through a BCI, improve knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among adolescents and their key social influencers regarding: IFA supplementation, nutrition, WASH (including menstrual hygiene management), and deworming.
- Reduce WASH-related barriers to menstrual hygiene management for girls (to support girls’ school attendance and therefore uptake of the intervention package).
- To provide policy recommendations and a costed action plan to GoB on implementation of a scaled-up school-based nutrition program to deliver IFA and to improve nutrition and health of the adolescents nationwide.

The immediate aim of this project is to demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of using the secondary school platform to deliver iron-folic acid (IFA) within a package of services including soil-transmitted helminth (STH) treatment, WASH interventions, and behavior change interventions, to improve the nutrition and health status of adolescent girls in secondary schools in selected districts in Bangladesh. The lessons learned from this program model and costing data will then inform policy recommendations regarding future scale up for investment by GoB and its investment partners. Johnson & Johnson is the provider of deworming treatment through their global technical partner, Children Without Worms (CWW).
The primary objectives of the project are:
- Identify an appropriate and effective delivery mechanism for the provision of an integrated package of interventions including IFA, STH treatment, WASH, and behavior change intervention (BCI) to adolescents via the secondary school platform (grades 8, 9, and 10).
- Identify key factors that would optimize the implementation efficiency and cost-effectiveness of delivering the integrated package to the target group.
- Enhance the intake of IFA supplementation and STH treatment among adolescent boys and girls.
- Reduce the prevalence of anemia and improve iron nutrition among adolescent girls.
- Improve the overall health and nutrition status of adolescent boys and girls.
- Reduce prevalence of STH infection and decrease worm load among adolescent boys and girls.
- Through a BCI, improve knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among adolescents and their key social influencers regarding: IFA supplementation, nutrition, WASH (including menstrual hygiene management), and deworming.
- Reduce WASH-related barriers to menstrual hygiene management for girls (to support girls’ school attendance and therefore uptake of the intervention package).
- To provide policy recommendations and a costed action plan to GoB on implementation of a scaled-up school-based nutrition program to deliver IFA and to improve nutrition and health of the adolescents nationwide.
This project will conclude in March 2020.
