The Global Alliance for Vitamin A (GAVA) is a forum to share information and lessons learned and coordinate policy related to vitamin A supplementation (VAS) in the context of other vitamin A deficiency (VAD) control and child survival programs. We bring together organizations, policy-makers and program implementers to share information, as well as to develop policies and tools to improve VAS. GAVA is currently hosted and chaired by Nutrition International.
Our primary goals are to:
A world where preventable child mortality due to the consequences of vitamin A deficiency is eliminated and all people attain optimal vitamin A nutrition.
We are working to accelerate progress toward child survival, and to reduce the global impact of VAD. GAVA provides a forum for achieving consensus on research, policy and program approaches, focusing on the role of VAS for pre-school children within the context of other evidence-based intervention programs.
