Background
In order to combat micronutrient malnutrition in Pakistan, a five-year programme designed and funded by the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) is being implemented. It includes the fortification of wheat flour and edible oil/ghee and will cover all wheat flour and edible oil/ghee mills in Pakistan as the programme progresses. The programme is being implemented by Mott MacDonald and Nutrition International in collaboration with key government departments at National and Provincial level and with industry associations, namely the Pakistan Flour Mills Association (PFMA) and Pakistan Vanaspati Manufacturers Association (PVMA). The programme will provide support to industry to adequately fortify wheat flour and edible oil/ghee in Pakistan, provide advice to the Government to improve the food fortification regulatory system, help to raise public awareness and conduct research to generate evidence for the formulation of relevant policies to combat micronutrient deficiencies in Pakistan.
