Become a Member of the Micronutrient Data Innovation Alliance
Join our collective action on micronutrient data!
The Micronutrient Data Innovation Alliance (DInA), hosted by the Micronutrient Forum, is an alliance of diverse members collaborating to improve the quality, accessibility, and use of micronutrient and large-scale food fortification data across the value chain to support national-level decision-makers to better design, implement, and evaluate programs and policies, and expedite progress.
Collective action will not replace the agenda or efforts of any individual organization but will leverage and optimize the goals and actions of each member and stakeholder. We invite organizations and individuals active at any point on the micronutrient data value chain to join the Alliance.
