The World Food Programme (WFP) in Mozambique has organized a seminar to discuss the feasibility of maize fortification on a small scale in partnership with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC) and Sanku Fortification.
In line with the Millennium Development Goal Number 1 – eradicating extreme poverty and hunger – the MIC and WFP are partners in the implementation of the national program of food fortification to improve the nutrition of vulnerable populations by increasing consumption of fortified foods.
The seminar covered the following topics: Nutritional situation in Mozambique and interventions taken to reduce chronic malnutrition levels; Current status of the national program for food fortification and its contribution in the fight against chronic malnutrition in Mozambique; How to plan a fortification program on a small scale; and Sanku: a new and innovative technology to meet the challenges of small-scale fortification.
