<strong>Bangladesh</strong> has the necessary human and institutional capacity toimplement food <strong>for</strong>tification on a national scale. However, availableevidence suggests that while NFA partners are interested in food<strong>for</strong>tification, they will be unable to put the program into action withouttechnical support. An integrated package <strong>of</strong> key technical-assistanceinterventions provided by the Global Alliance <strong>for</strong> Improved Nutrition,USAID, and other donors would help create the conditions <strong>for</strong> NFApartners to proceed. Technical-assistance interventions will be neededto implement all five components <strong>of</strong> food <strong>for</strong>tification: production anddistribution, including industrial implementation and quality assurance/control; food control, including legislation, inspection and en<strong>for</strong>cement,and program testing and monitoring; communications and marketing;monitoring and evaluation; and program management.
