Ferrous sulfate syrup has been the major source of iron supplementation until 2006 for the Bolivian children. Although not documented in a systematic fashion, it was generally accepted in the country that acceptance of the syrup was low due to taste and frequently reported side effects. This and the persistently high prevalence of anemia provided the case for seeking alternative approaches to micronutrient supplementation. Stressing the importance of anemia prevention and control among children 6-59 months of age in Bolivia, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Micronutrient Initiative (MI) proposed to the Ministry of Health and Sports (MSD) to replace syrup with Micronutrient powder (MNP) at the national level. The free distribution of MNP in Bolivia was integrated into the Desnutricion Cero (Zero Malnutrition) program, an integrated strategy to combat malnutrition in Bolivia, launched by the Morales government in 2006. The Centro de Abastecimiento de Suministros de Salud (CEASS), a national procurement agency for the MSD managed the distribution of the sachets to all 9 departments on behalf of the MSD.

","Both qualitative and quantitative information were collected from three different sources to evaluate diverse aspects of the implementation of the Chispitas program with an objective to:1. Asses efficiency of logistics systems management across different departments and health districts,2. Assess the acceptability of Chispitas by the caregivers across urban and rural areas, and 3. Know the adequacy of Chispitas preparation by caregivers. An external evaluation was done by the Asociacion de Instituciones de Promocion y Educacion (AIPE), a private firm, to achieve the first three objectives using the program monitoring data and external survey data in 2008. In addition, a workshop was conducted in September 2009 by researchers from Cornell University, MI and MSD to review the Chispitas program and provide feedback to further strengthen it. Later in 2010, a study was conducted provide data to develop a communications strategy by a private firm (TICs Communications) contracted by MI, and allow a comparison post-implementation (focus groups were also conducted). All studies/reviews only looked at the program from the public health system distribution point of view. The 2010 TICs study collected data from households and public health centers in both rural and urban municipalities in Bolivia, in each of the 9 departments of the country. The sample sizes are not large enough however to be nationally representative.

Smaller scale implementation initially with good quality monitoring may have facilitated the identification and timely resolution of problems related to supply, knowledge, acceptance and utilization. The decision to immediately implement at scale diverted financial and human resources from these necessary start-up activities and left little room for the in-depth monitoring required for the timely identification and resolution of problems with the program design and barriers to appropriate implementation. Because of the national scale of the program, implications and problems need to be identified and potential solutions explored at large scale, resulting in complexities and delays in the public health systematical ability to do so.The legal framework, i.e., change of the regulation and inclusion of Chispitas in the insurance commodity package was an important step towards national implementation of the program.
