Data has become an increasingly important resource for policymakers around the world. The use of data and evidence-based policymaking must be an essential tool for governments to address micronutrient deficiencies and drive effective decision-making.

This webinar aims to showcase successful examples from Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Nepal of micronutrient data-driven policy interventions, discuss context-specific challenges and limitations of micronutrient data collection, and review lessons learned and policy recommendations.

Speakers:

• Lynnette Neufeld, Director, FAO
• Abel Ahmed, Food Fortification Advisor, Ethiopia Ministry of Industry, and Food and Beverage Industry Research and Development Center
• Mireya Palmieri, Director of Epidemiological Health and Nutrition Surveillance System in Guatemala, Institute of Nutrition Central America and Panama
• Naveen Paudyal, Nutrition Officer, UNICEF Nepal.

Moderator: Megan Bourassa, DInA Program Lead
