The various causes of anemia require diverse and context-specific strategies to strengthen multi-sectoral anemia policy and programming. Policy-makers and program planners have developed population-level policies to reduce anemia to allow for efficient allocation of available resources.
To reach populations in need, translate policies into programs. Practitioners should design these programs designed with an eye for sustainability by incorporating the latest information on cost and cost effectiveness, with the goal of reaching the populations most vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies and poor health.
