Consultancy Service to Assess the Feasibility of an Edible Oil Fortification Programme

Micronutrient deficiencies had not, with few exceptions, significantly improved in the West Bank and Gaza. The MOH provides comprehensive health and nutrition services to address micronutrient deficiencies, but gaps may exist. The MOH requested the World Bank’s technical assistance to assess the feasibility of a new food vehicle to address micronutrient deficiencies in the West Bank and Gaza. The objectives of this assignment were to: (i) design and conduct the feasibility study for edible oil fortification with vitamin A, D and E, and (ii) conduct stakeholder consultations/workshops to discuss and share the proposed methodology and draft results.
