2. Background.
Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) is recognized as the single most important preventable cause of mental retardation. IDD has been virtually eradicated in the industrialized world, yet two national surveys conducted over the last quarter century have clearly indicated the worsening trend of IDD in Ethiopia. The prevalence rate found in the latest national survey conducted in 2005 was high, estimated at up to 68 percent of women and children with low urinary iodine excretion level and the total goitre rate is also high at 40%.
Salt iodization has been identified and globally accepted as a cost effective method for the prevention of Iodine Deficiency Disorders. The Government of Ethiopia is working to achieve Universal Salt Iodization and endorsed mandatory Salt legislation in April 2011. Despite the recent endorsement of the Universal Salt Iodisation law, only less than 10% of the Ethiopian salt is iodised at Afdera salt production sites where the plan is to achieve 100%. Despite considerable support given to salt producers in Afar and Somali region, the progress with salt iodization coverage is not improved to meet the country’s iodized salt demand.
