Six Key Actions to Reduce Anemia: A Project Brief from USAID and SPRING

It was published in September 2017 by USAID and SPRING. The brief aims to provide guidance on reducing anemia, a widespread public health problem that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly in Africa and Asia. The document outlines six key actions to address anemia, including generating evidence and acting on it, engaging stakeholders and building commitment, establishing a structure for coordination and collaboration, developing a working strategy, planning and implementing at subnational levels, and training service providers. The brief is based on country-led efforts to coordinate and implement anemia prevention and control, and it presents lessons learned and available guidance tools to support other countries in their efforts to reduce anemia.
