Thirty-one representatives from international organizations, non-governmental organizations, government agencies, universities, and the private sector participated in a three-day workshop in Lima, Peru, organized by the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina and supported by the Ministry of Health Peru, UNICEF, and the World Health Organization. The objective of the workshop was to develop a protocol for a comprehensive micronutrient supplementation programme for populations in developing countries that suffer from deficiencies of several micronutrients. The workshop consisted of two components: presentation of preliminary results of the multicentre study on infant supplementation and recommendations on the policy and community, monitoring and impact evaluation, and research aspects of supplementation programmes. This paper provides the summary reports of the second component.
