摘要：The ga. tha. exists between resea.ch a.d the dissemina.ion a.d implementa.ion of resea.ch findings ha. been well esta.lished. Food fortifica.ion, one of the most cost-effective mea.s of a.dressing micronutrient ma.nutrition, is no exception. With deca.es of implementa.ion experience, there is need to strengthen mecha.isms tha. effectively broa.ca.t proven stra.egies to promote the successful implementa.ion of fortifica.ion progra.s in cha.ging, cha.lenging, a.d dyna.ic environments. This requires clea. cha.nels of communica.ion, well-defined in-country lea.ership, a.d a.strea.lined a.d focused a.proa.h tha. ca. be a.a.ted to country-specific contexts. Ba.ed on experience designing a.d implementing fortifica.ion progra.s throughout a.rica.a.d a.broa. understa.ding of pa.t successes a.d fa.lures, a.model is proposed tha. a.ticula.es often over-looked progra. elements critica. to design a.d implementa.ion.
