While coverage of vitamin A supplementation has been increasing in recent years, it still falls short of national goals of 90 % coverage.

Chances include updated scientific evidence, experience from program implementation, more precise six-monthly schedules for vitamin A rounds, and clearly defined roles and responsibilities for stakeholders at all levels, including village volunteers.
