Abstract
This article provides a summary of the symposium "Multiple Micronutrient Interventions during Early Childhood: Moving toward Evidence-Based Policy and Program Planning." The symposium reviewed the strength of evidence of multiple micronutrient interventions on child health, growth, and development, case examples demonstrating how information from program evaluations and the local context can be used to improve program design and performance, and the process by which evidence evolves, resulting in guidelines for policy-makers and program managers. The presentations highlighted the importance of an interactive platform at the country level where the scientific community and country stakeholders exchange ideas, develop a priority implementation research agenda, and clarify key issues to generate and modify policy and programs based on the best evidence available and the ability to deliver results in real time. © 2011 American Society for Nutrition.
