AED in Action: Improving Women’s Health in India

AED launched the A2Z project in 2005 to improve the health of mothers, newborns, and children by supplying them with Vitamin A supplements, reducing anemia, and fortifying food with beneficial micronutrients. A2Z is currently working in Cambodia, India, the Philippines, Tanzania, Uganda, West Bank, and through an East and Southern Africa Regional initiative, with support from USAID. The project:

• Strengthens systems for planning, budgeting, and cost analysis of micronutrient programs, service delivery (logistics), and capacity building of human resources.
• Integrates delivery of micronutrients into other health services, including newborn care, child survival, immunization, reproductive health, diarrhea treatment, deworming, disease control, and food security.
• Broadens the knowledge base by enabling people to access, use, generate, and share knowledge to advance micronutrient programming and the uptake of sustained, improved micronutrient practices and services.
• Collaborates with technical and program partners to advance the global agenda to reduce micronutrient malnutrition and child blindness.
