Highlights
Prior to 2011, micronutrient specific area based data showed that micronutrient deficiencies were common in Bangladesh, but representative national data were not available for some of the important essential micronutrients. Therefore, a National Micronutrient Survey was undertaken to generate data for evidence-based advocacy, planning and programming for micronutrient deficiency control interventions and to assess the impact of ongoing micronutrient interventions.
This report presents the findings of the National Micronutrient Survey undertaken in 2011. The report provides valuable information which will inform policy and programming in the short, medium and longer term future for the benefit of the people of Bangladesh.
