Methods from the Micronutrient Intervention Modeling project are being used to make adoption of micronutrient-fortified bouillon feasible.
The goal of the Micronutrient Intervention Modeling (MINIMOD) project is to develop and use a suite of tools that allows decision-makers to design and manage more effective, cost-effective, and sustainable national and sub-national micronutrient intervention programs.
For the CoMIT project, MINIMOD modeling methods are used to assess the effective coverage, costs, cost-efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of multiple micronutrient-fortified bouillon, alone and in comparison to other food fortification vehicles and micronutrient programs at national and regional levels in Nigeria, Senegal, and Burkina Faso.
Details of the research methods and results are published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
