SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single-source award will focus on
assessments of micronutrient status and the design and implementation
of systems to monitor and evaluate micronutrient interventions, such as
vitamin and mineral supplementation and fortification programs, and
other nutrition interventions, such as infant and young child feeding,
dietary counseling, and growth monitoring, in select countries.
Specifically, the award will focus on the development of
recommendations that inform country-specific nutrition strategies. The
award will build in-country capacity to implement standardized national
nutrition programs and micronutrient interventions to reduce the
worldwide burden of micronutrient deficiencies. Key strategies include
collaborating with ministries of health (MOH) and other key partners in
developing countries. This work will advance the knowledge base about
micronutrient deficiencies, and has the potential to benefit other
countries, including the U.S.
UNICEF has a unique position among the world's health agencies as
the technical agency for maternal and child health within the United
Nations, with access to all national health promotion and disease
prevention programs and potential surveillance sites through its
regional offices located in seven (7) regions (Central and Eastern
Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States, East Asia and the
Pacific, Eastern and Southern Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean,
Middle East and Northern Africa, South Asia, West and Central Africa)
and in 190 country offices.
