3 September 2020. Webinar: The role of food fortification within the nutrition value chain

The Power of Nutrition and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will be hosting a joint roundtable focussing on current themes in food fortification, including the effectiveness of interventions in improving health and the role of the private sector in achieving impact. Thsi webinar also discussed the role of key actors in delivering food fortification programmes and key factors in implementing them at scale.
