Project Healthy Children

Abstract

Project Healthy Children (PHC) works to reduce micronutrient deficiencies in small countries by supporting the design and implementation of food fortification programs. While PHC believes fortification can be highly effective, there’s insufficient monitoring data to assess the program’s effectiveness. Cost-effectiveness remains unclear, though PHC anticipates its work to be comparable to other priority programs when effective. Currently, PHC is seeking funds to continue its national and small-scale fortification programs. Moving forward, PHC may shift focus from program design and implementation to monitoring and evaluation, with the capacity to expand monitoring efforts depending on funding availability. GiveWell has deemed PHC a standout charity and will determine based on PHC’s future activities whether to move forward with a full review and potential top-charity designation.
