Abstract:
The study tested whether crude sunflower oil can be fortified for local consumption in contexts where inventory turnover is rapid and long shelf-life is not required; the use of electronic vouchers and sustainable business models; the reduction of micronutrient deficiencies in vulnerable groups, specifically lactating mothers and young children. This interim presentation from a stakeholder meeting reports on the project, and includes results from the oil storage stability study, the eVoucher data, comparisons of results on vitamin A deficiency, preliminary estimates of cost-effectiveness and sustainability of the business model.
