Scope
Nutrition International has been working in Pakistan since 2001 to improve the health of people in need, especially women and children, through better nutrition. Working in partnership with national and provincial government, Nutrition International focuses on improving access to much needed micronutrients for the most disadvantaged through existing health systems.
Large Scale Food Fortification (LSFF) is one of the most cost-effective and successfully proven interventions to reduce micronutrient deficiencies and associated health risks. Nutrition International (NI) works across Pakistan to support establishment and strengthening of enabling environment for the introduction and implementation of staple foods fortification at national and provincial levels. Under the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) funded Food Fortification Program (FFP), the capacity of oil producers and government regulatory bodies has been improved to ensure adequate edible oil fortification and improved QAQC as a result of which most Pakistanis can now access oil that is adequately fortified with Vitamins A and D.
The Government of Pakistan has identified food fortification among important & cost-effective options to control micronutrient deficiencies. In connection with this, NI has launched FFP 2.0: Scaling and sustaining the Food Fortification program in Pakistan. Under the new phase of food fortification program, Nutrition International (NI) is providing support to the Provincial Food Departments/ Food Authorities to implement Wheat Flour Fortification program in all four Provinces of Pakistan. The first phase of national level Wheat Flour Fortification Program (WFFP) was carried out during the implementation of Food Fortification Program (2016-2021). NI implemented these activities through creating enabling environment by providing technical support for the drafting advancement and approval of mandatory food fortification legislation in all provinces, installation of 2,333 Micro feeders in 992 mills, provision of QAQC equipment and services and provision of subsidy on fortified production. Now in order to continue this program, NI plans to outsource activities related to hiring of field staff, advocacy/repositioning of wheat flour fortification with government, Industry & other stakeholders to ensure effective implementation and efficient use of resources. The distribution and appointment of wheat flour fortification Zonal Managers (ZMs) will be as per attached list.
