A Report-on Food Fortification 35 Establishing a working partnership involves a network of players from industry,government , and deoelopment agencies at national level, and this relationship :must be carried on in everyday work.' -' , ahead. At the end of this conference, you will each receive a survey form to draw feedback from you on what you think are the key barriers. This feedback can be included for discussion in global forums. ' , .One forum will be a meeting in Septemberof this year in Ottawa to bridge the-knowledge gap, to develop further dialogue, and to establish better thrusts andplaris fornational action. Its einphasis will be on, national action, and the Philippines will be represented in this dialogue by a strong team. Establishing a workingpartnership involvesanetwork ofplayers from industry,governmentand development agencies at n,ational level, as is happening here now, and this relationship must be carried on' in everyday work. Also being discussed now is a marketing communication idea on what is called the "supernutrient edge". It is actually an advocacy, linking athletic ' performance with adequate essential micronutrients or supernutrients. It will have the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta as a launching pad, reaching a climax in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. The vehicles may vary. It could be basketball in the Philippines, or .a whole lot of- sporting events. A lesson plan on micronutrients is also being drawn up for integration in the school' curriculum and non-forrrial educational systems like the boy scouts. Another idea is to use the potential of mothers and prominentwomenin various countries, like the Princess'of Thailand or an eminent lady in the Philippines, to head a coalition of women in support ofmicronutrient advocacy. This would , be later expanded to create a global network pushing for the elimination of micronutrientdeficiency. For thatmatter, the partnership can be expandedbetween industries, between governments, and betweenagencies in orderto create a global movement on micronutrients similar to, the GreenMovementor the Anti-Smoking Movement. Many countries have comntitted themselves to the elimination of micronutrient deficiencies by the year 2000. This cannotbe achieved unless there is a major movement in industry. I am very confident this is coming.
