The private sector is a critical partner in achieving the universally adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)-UNDP 2022. As part of a national strategy to address malnutrition (SDG2), Large-Scale Food Fortification of commonly consumed staple foods and condiments with vitamins and minerals is a proven intervention that requires the concerted engagement of multiple actors in a country's agri-food and public health ecosystems. Lessons from TechnoServe's Strengthening African Processors of Fortified Foods (SAPFF) Program, implemented from 2016 to 2022 in Kenya, Nigeria, and Tanzania with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, provide essential learnings about how to effectively engage, motivate, and improve the food fortification performance of the industry in compliance with national standards, through capacity building, responsive technical assistance, and multistakeholder engagement that builds trust and accountability of industry in the fight against malnutrition.
私营部门是实现普遍通过的可持续发展目标(SDGs)的关键合作伙伴——联合国开发计划署 2022 年。作为解决营养不良问题的国家战略的一部分(SDG2),大规模向人们经常食用的主食和调味品中添加维生素和矿物质是一种经过验证的干预措施,需要一个国家的农业食品和公共卫生生态系统中的多个行为体共同参与。从 2016 年至 2022 年,在比尔和梅琳达·盖茨基金会的支持下,泰诺生组织在肯尼亚、尼日利亚和坦桑尼亚实施的《加强非洲强化食品加工商计划》(SAPFF)提供了关于如何通过能力建设、响应式技术援助和多方利益攸关方参与,有效地吸引、激励和提高行业的食品强化绩效,使其符合国家标准的重要经验教训,从而在抗击营养不良的斗争中建立行业的信任和问责制。
