The Micronutrient Forum
The Micronutrient Forum is the successor to the International Vitamin A Consultative Group (IVACG) and the International Nutritional Anemia Consultative Group (INACG).
In recent years, the role of multiple micronutrients, and their interactions, became increasingly evident, and the need to address wider issues became urgent. In response to this growing interest, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) recently established the Micronutrient Forum, which consolidates and expands upon thirty years of successful leadership by IVACG and INACG.
The Micronutrient Forum recently held its first international meeting in Istanbul, Turkey on 16–18 April 2007. The theme of the meeting was “Consequences and Control of Micronutrient Deficiencies: Science, Policy, and Programs—Defining the Issues.” For more information, click here.
