Food systems are at the heart of determining what people eat. The Micronutrient Forum 5th Global Conference covered the broad spectrum of micronutrients - research, efficacy and safety, implementation and the policy and enabling environment. In addition, the conference took a deep dive into how micronutrients might be optimized and protected within food systems. The Micronutrient Forum strives to ensure greater participation from the agriculture, manufacturing, processing and distribution, retail, and culinary sectors, to widen the conversation and drive multi-sectoral innovation towards sustainable solutions. The Micronutrient Forum 5th Global Conference provided the opportunity for sharing new micronutrient research with a diverse audience across four focused tracks. 339869 339867 Promoting Dialogue and Collective Action to Support Micronutrient Health 2020 was the most productive year in the history of the Micronutrient Forum (Forum). In addition to hosting the 5th Global Conference, the Forum made material progress in providing technical assistance to the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), and increased efforts to drive the global adoption of Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS) for pregnant women. The Standing Together for Nutrition (STfN) work the Forum co-led with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) created an action-oriented collaboration between economic, food systems and nutrition models to better understand the impact of the COVID pandemic and resulted in the most significant nutrition communications success of the year. 242523 176460 The Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS) for Pregnant Women Workstream included the Forum's leadership of the Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies (HMHB) Goalkeepers Accelerator project. The project leverages new investments from the private sector, philanthropies, NGOs and country leadership to save lives and improve the health of millions of women and newborns, correct inequity in access to MMS, and make progress toward the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From the outset the Accelerator built on momentum for MMS already created among donors, implementing agencies, and governments ready to act. 43260 COVID-19 Malnutrition Research Paper 33423 EC Food Fortification 76683 1927854 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 7 true false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false X CLAYTON AJELLO 4432800172 327 WARREN AVENUE SUITE A BALTIMORE MD 21230 Saskia Osendarp Executive Director 40.0 0.0 X 193724 0 67228 Ken Brown Director 5.0 0.0 X 53400 0 0 Curtis Tyler CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 3450 0 0 Clayton Ajello Treasurer 10.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Maria Andrade Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Howarth Bouis Board Chair 15.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Klaus Kraemer Director 10.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lynnette Neufeld Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jay Solomon Secretary 10.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Emorn Udomkesmalee Director 10.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 250574 0 67228 1 false true false Double Beta Consulting PO BOX 666 MERCER ISLAND WA 98040 Consulting 251266 1 957786 447880 1405666 CONFERENCE REGISTRATION 561920 170483 170483 170483 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER REVENUE 561920 8420 8420 8420 1584569 178903 0 0 0 0 260952 237910 12082 10960 0 49681 45294 2300 2087 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1357 1023 334 0 0 0 652367 650882 1485 0 0 0 0 0 9254 9000 254 CONSULTANTS & SUBCONTRACTORS 999887 941207 49930 8750 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 30453 19530 10923 OTHER EXPENSES 24127 23008 1119 EXCHANGE RATE GAIN OR LOSS 48 48 2028126 1927854 75871 24401 662089 832628 0 0 0 0 7521 253102 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 298432 43482 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 968042 1129212 155423 419030 0 0 753083 1094203 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 908506 1513233 X -40464 -384021 100000 0 59536 -384021 968042 1129212 -443557 X false true X true false X 0 0 164827 671862 1405666 2242355 0 0 0 0 164827 671862 1405666 2242355 0 2242355 0 0 0 2242355 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 Schedule D, Part XIII Management evaluated the Forum's tax positions and concluded that the Forum has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.

The Micronutrient Forum's strategy is predicated on the fact that stakeholders in the nutrition field need a sound micronutrient technical resource and that conversely scientific research should be informed by the needs of stakeholders such as policymakers, implementors, funders, and investors. However, knowledge without action is insufficient. The Micronutrient Forum must also identify knowledge gaps, prioritize, and coordinate and collaborate with others to fill those gaps, and effectively disseminate this new knowledge. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE MICRONUTRIENT FORUM IS TO FOSTER DIALOGUE AMONG THE RESEARCH, POLICY, CLINICAL, PROGRAM AND PRIVATE SECTOR COMMUNITIES TO FACILITATE THE TRANSLATION OF EVIDENCE FOR POLICY AND PROGRAM PLANNING, AND TO INFORM RESEARCH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES BASED ON EVIDENCE GAPS TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS. VISION A world where all people have optimal micronutrient status for health and well-being. MISSION To promote dialogue and collective action on vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients across multiple sectors by bridging nutrition science, policy, programs, and responsible business practices for health and wellbeing.
