IRON DEFICIENCY ELIMINATION ACTION

Project IDEA (Iron Deficiency Elimination Action) Aims to reduce iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in developing countries by

adding iron to commonly eaten, commercially produced foods such as

condiments and staples, based on the dietary patterns unique to each country.

Major Programs Underway

Philippines, FNRI : Iron fortified rice project was

launched in Compostela Valley Province, Mindanao

in March 2015. In 2016, marketing and advocacy

programs will be expanded in the province in

cooperation with rice millers and local governments.

Vietnam, NIN : One year of market trial on iron and

zinc fortified rice was launched in Vu Thu District,

Thai Binh Province in November 2015. Prior to the

launching, the baseline survey had been conducted.

In 2016, NIN will conduct a food intake survey on

lysine intake to know if lysine fortification could be

combined with iron and zinc and to add more value

to the rice fortification initiative.

India, SJRI: SJRI India will review food intake data

in India to identify needs of amino acids among

children in 2016.

The Consortium for Multiple Nutrients

Fortification of Rice

The Consortium for Multiple Nutrients Fortification

of Rice became effective on October 21, 2015.

Nine parties signed the Memorandum of

Understanding for the Consortium, which are:

GAIN, ILSI Japan CHP,ILSI Southeast Asia Region,

ILSI-India, FNRI(Food and Nutrition Research

Institute in the Philippines),NIN Vietnam(National

Institute of Nutrition Vietnam), SJRI India(St.

John’s Research Institute in India) , Ajinomoto,

Taiyo Kagaku.

The Purpose of the Consortium

To update and share scientific knowledge and

experiences on rice fortification to accelerate

implementation of rice fortification programs in the

field.

The 2nd Consortium Meeting was held in Davao

City, Philippines on September 17-18, 2015.
