Who We Are and What We Do
The Micronutrient Forum is the central platform for evidence and advocacy to improve micronutrient health. As an independent, expert-led organization, we bring leaders together from across sectors to build and strengthen the evidence base on micronutrient deficiencies and interventions, drive consensus, and ultimately contribute to the development of stronger policies, programs, and systems to protect the health of vulnerable communities everywhere.
We do this work because it is urgent: because we know 1 in 2 children and 2 of 3 women worldwide are deficient in essential micronutrients, with lifelong, even multi-generational consequences. Yet, affordable, high-impact solutions are available today. And as climate change and other crises threaten to exacerbate all the underlying inequities that cause malnutrition, the need to address micronutrient insecurity has never been greater.
Our Approach and Impact
The micronutrient community is hampered by a fragmented and uncoordinated landscape of organizations and individuals working on specific deficiencies or isolated interventions. The Forum is dedicated to promoting a unified, evidence-based approach to addressing micronutrient malnutrition.
We make an impact by fostering collaboration, and acting as a knowledge broker, leveraging our unique convening power and evidence-driven programs to connect experts and leaders, align priorities across sectors, and accelerate collective action.

Support Us
Micronutrients represent one of the best investments in development, but widespread deficiency persists, and affordable and effective interventions are deprioritized. The Micronutrient Forum catalyzes collective action on micronutrient health that leads to healthier, more resilient communities, equipped to thrive and reach their full potential.
