Prevention and Control Micro-Nutrient

Malnutrition; Notice of Availability of

Funds

A. Purpose

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), Division of Nutrition

and Physical Activity (DNPA)

announces the availability of fiscal year

(FY) 2000 funds for a sole source

cooperative agreement program with the

World Health Organization (WHO),

Geneva, Switzerland, for the prevention

and control of micro-nutrient

malnutrition.

B. Eligible Applicant

Single Source

Assistance will be provided only to

the World Health Organization (WHO)

in Geneva, Switzerland. No other

applications are solicited.

WHO is the most appropriate and

qualified agency to conduct the

activities under this cooperative

agreement because; WHO (a) has

demonstrated the necessary expertise

and experience in technical, policy, and

program issues relating to micronutrient malnutrition; (b) maintains

relationships with officials of ministries

of health and other policy makers

throughout the region; and (c) serves as

the source of international standards for

nutritional status, including micronutrient status.

1. WHO supports micro-nutrient

malnutrition intervention programs

throughout the Eastern Mediterranean

region. In the past 10 years WHO

through WHO/EMRO has made progress

in working towards the prevention of

iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and the

elimination of iodine deficiency

disorders (IDD). WHO through WHO/

EMRO identified flour fortification with

iron and folate as the best preventive

and most sustainable strategy for IDA, as

bread and other wheat-flour products

are widely consumed in the countries of

region. Through regional workshops,

WHO through WHO/ERMO has helped

countries write action plans for flour

fortification with iron and folate and at

present six countries have either begun

or are in the process of beginning flour

fortification. Additionally, WHO

through WHO/EMRO supports countrybased salt iodization programs

throughout the region which has had a

significant impact on reducing the

burden of iodine deficiency disorders.

2. The proposed program is strongly

supportive of, and directly related to,

the achievement of WHO through WHO/

EMRO and the CDC/Micro-nutrient

Malnutrition Program objectives for the

prevention and control of micronutrient malnutrition.

3. WHO is the only organization

within the Eastern Mediterranean

Region that has demonstrated the

experience and maintains relationships

with officials of ministries of health

throughout the region in order to

coordinate micro-nutrient malnutrition

programs.

C. Availability of Funds

Approximately $250,000 is available

in FY 2000 to fund one award. It is

expected that the award will begin on or

about September 30, 2000 will be made

for a 12-month budget period within a

project period of up to two years.
