A large-scale Food Fortification Programme in Afghanistan, funded by the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation (KBZF) and implemented by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (Gain), is entering a new milestone to reduce deaths and disabilities associated with nutritional deficiencies, particularly among women and children, by offering fortified staple foods and condiments (wheat flour, vegetable oil and salt).

The international partnership, which also involves the World Food Programme (WFP), will reach approximately 15 to 18 million Afghans, mainly children, women and pregnant women, with nutritionally fortified wheat flour, vegetable oil and ghee.
