The WFP Centre of Excellence for Rural Transformation (WFP China COE) organizes a comprehensive webinar series on Food Fortification and Nutrition Improvement from May 21 to June 11, 2026. The webinar consists of four sessions in total, providing a collaborative platform for knowledge exchange among developing countries to explore diverse technical solutions for improving nutrition. The four sessions are as follows:

 

Session I: Food Fortification Against Malnutrition

Session II: Fortification Technology and Approach

Session III: Fortified Nutritional Products

Session IV: Fortification of Widely Consumed Foods

This course is part of Session I: Food Fortification Against Malnutrition. The session aims to share knowledge and experiences on preventing malnutrition through food fortification initiatives and is structured around two main parts: Preventing Malnutrition in the West and Central African Region, and Food Fortification in China. The first part highlights the barriers to accessing nutritious diets in the West and Central African Region and introduces diverse local food solutions and fortification models that help improve diet affordability. The second part reviews China’s progress in food fortification, detailing mandatory programs like salt iodization and major projects such as iron-fortified soy sauce advanced through government-led partnership models.
