1. SCOPE

Nutrition International (formerly the Micronutrient Initiative) is a global organization dedicated to

delivering proven nutrition interventions to those who need them most. Working in partnership
with countries, donors and implementers, our experts conduct cutting-edge nutrition research,
support critical policy formulation and integrate nutrition into broader development programs. In
more than 60 countries, primarily in Asia and Africa, Nutrition International (NI) nourishes people
to nourish life.

Since 2009, Nutrition International (NI) has been working with the Government of Indonesia
(GoI) to accelerate and achieve Universal Salt Iodization (USI). NI works in the provinces of
Central Java, East Java and West Nusa Tenggara. In the Central Java (CJ) province, NI works
in the districts of Semarang, Kudus, Demak, Pati and Rembang.

In the salt sector, NI works across the spectrum from production to monitoring and enforcement.
The local government authorities viz., BAPPEDA (Planning Commission), BAPPERMADES
(Office of the Village Coordinator), district and village level GAKY (USI-IDD) teams conduct the
USI monitoring and enforcement. NI has trained and supports the GAKY (USI-IDD) teams to
monitor adequately iodized salt at production and retail level. The GAKY teams report to the
village head and BAPPERMADES/ BAPPEDA respectively who further carry out enforcement
actions against non-compliant processors. Thus, enforcement activities are carried out to
ensure that only adequately iodized salts are available for purchase and consumption. To
support and strengthen USI monitoring at village level in Central Java, NI is will procure 50
