Working with partners in Ethiopia, Kenya, Peru, Tanzania, and Thailand, ICRW undertook a series of studies to explore how to increase intake of iron, vitamin A and iodine by combining women’s productive and reproductive roles. This report summarizes findings from Ethiopia, where a trial intervention aimed to improve vitamin A status among women and young children.
