How do traditional market development activities orient their investments to not just improve sales or market share, but also encourage consumption of nutrient-rich commodities?

According to the World Health Organization, weekly iron and folic acid supplements (WIFS) should be viewed as a key intervention to prevent anaemia. India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare launched the Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) programme in 2012 to meet the challenge of the high prevalence and incidence of anaemia in adolescent girls and boys (56% of girls and 30% of boys). WIFS is an evidence-based response to the prevailing anaemia situation and includes weekly supervised ingestion of IFA supplementation and bi-annual helminthic control.
