Zimbabwe: Strengthening Strategy to Strengthen People

With FFI’s support, the Zimbabwe Ministry of Health and Child Care and UNICEF-Zimbabwe moved forward with the revision of their fortification strategy,

including the hiring of staff to complete extensive in-country fortification interviews to inform the new strategy. The pandemic forced partners to cancel the initial kick-off meeting in March 2020. Yet efforts continued virtually, demonstrating commitment to strengthen the health of all Zimbabweans by strengthening the country’s fortification strategy.

FFI is supporting Zimbabwe throughout the entire revision process with a particular focus on the monitoring and communication sections of the strategy. FFI is also financially supporting the hiring of a government-placed consultant who will be responsible for leading fortification efforts post-strategy writing.
