As part of the Fill the Nutrient Gap (FNG) analysis in Afghanistan, this brief assesses the potential impact of fortified wheat flour on the cost and affordability of a nutritious diet in the country. Evidence generated by the FNG analysis can be used to raise awareness of how fortified foods could reduce the cost of the nutritious diet, improve access to, and affordability of, essential micronutrients, and prevent nutrient deficiencies. As fortification programmes require coordinated multisectoral efforts, this evidence can be relevant across sectors such as agriculture, health and commerce, and can be used to guide strategic policy planning across these sectors and provide a basis for multisectoral dialogue on food fortification in Afghanistan.
