Abstract
This project was part of a larger effort entitled ‘Initiative on Successful Micronutrient Programs.’ The research, carried out by national institutions with support from project funding and expertise, established the state of the art in large scale interventions to address deficiencies of iodine, iron, and vitamin A. Findings indicate that systematic application of conventional procedures for project initiation worked, and can be further applied. Materials from the project and related documents have been distributed to training institutions. The capacity building strategy envisages triangular links, with developed-country institutions working to support the development of less experienced institutions.
