The ACC/SCN State-of-the-Art Series aims to provide authoritative information to help policy-making and implementation of programmes to improve nutrition in the world. This document concerns prevention of vitamin A deficiency, which is the objective of a Ten-Year UN Programme, launched in 1985. It is a coordinated effort between UN and national governments, currently with components from FAO, UNICEF and WHO. This paper contains very useful information for governmental and non-governmental organizations cooperating in the solution of this widespread problem.
