Presentation given at the Micronutrient Forum 2016 Conference on the challenges with measuring biological impact in food fortification programs through effectiveness trials.  
Three challenges are discussed:  lack of a control group, no baseline is available before fortification implementation, and impact evaluation surveys can be costly.   
For each challenge, at least one solution is proposed.  
Presented by Helena Pachon with the Food Fortification Initiative and Emory University.
