Resumen
Descripción
Salt and wheat flour are the two main
foods and condiments that are fortified with vitamins and
minerals on a large scale in Nepal. The objective of this
exercise was to review and document the regulatory
monitoring systems (legal framework, internal, external and
commercial monitoring) for fortified salt and wheat flour in
order to draw lessons that could identify constraints and
weaknesses and develop recommendations for changes that will
improve the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of
the systems in Nepal and also provide valuable lessons for
other countries. A summary of this review served as the
basis for a Nepal case study which was used to facilitate
the meeting on regulatory monitoring of fortified foods
organized by various partners and hosted by World Health
Organization, or WHO in Manila 27-29 September 2011. The
review was carried out by two consultants using the
Framework for monitoring and evaluation of food
fortification. It consisted of a desk review of available
documents on the regulatory monitoring systems in Nepal,
including in particular, all past reviews and analyses of
these industries and fortification programs. The desk review
was followed by a country visit to interview the main
stakeholders including salt and wheat flour producers,
relevant departments of the ministries of health and
population and department of food technology and quality
control, ministry of agriculture and cooperatives, at
national, regional and district levels.
