Global Health Programs: Internationl Micronutrient Malnutrition
Prevention and Control Program (IMMPaCT) The International
Micronutrient Malnutrition Prevention and Control (IMMPaCt)
Program was established in 2000 at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) to contribute CDC skills and
resources to eliminate vitamin and mineral deficiencies –
particularly iron, vitamin A, iodine, folate, and zinc
deficiencies– as public health problems among vulnerable
populations throughout the world. The IMMPaCt program works with
global partners to implement national micronutrient surveys,
develop monitoring and evaluation systems for micronutrient
interventions, and implement applied research related to
prevention of micronutrient malnutrition. Target populations
include infants, young children, and women of childbearing age.
IMMPaCt supports programs that increase vitamin and mineral
fortification of staple foods and condiments in countries
throughout the world. Where We Work - Democratic Republic of the
