Dear Potential Bidders,
Fortification of industrially processed wheat flour when appropriately implemented is an effective, simple and inexpensive intervention for supplying vitamins and minerals to the diets of large segments of the population. Since 2002, the Government of Indonesia (GoI) has been fortifying wheat flour with iron, zinc, folic acid, vitamins B1 and B2 (SNI 3751:2001). However, this SNI (national standard) only mandated fortification of wheat flour, without specifying the type of iron compound to be used for fortification, this led millers to fortify wheat flour with elemental/electrolytic iron that was not in line with the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Thus, the resulting fortified wheat flour had no significant impact in reducing iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in Indonesia. In 2016, NI supported the Government of Indonesia to initiate revision of SNI 3751:2011 to align the national standard with the WHO recommendations. In 2018, the GoI issued the revised SNI 3751:2018.
In order to support the quality control of wheat flour fortification following the revised SNI 3751:2018, Nutrition International (NI) developed a protocol to identify the type of iron compound in the fortified wheat flour. NI proposes to train wheat flour millers quality control and laboratory personnel to ensure wheat flour fortification program is implemented to achieve an effective public health impact, it is needed to strengthen the internal monitoring and quality control of the fortified wheat flour as per SNI 3751:2018. Therefore, NI is seeking an agency to organize a hands-on training laboratory and internal QA/QC for wheat flour millers' quality control and laboratory.
