In the Copenhagen Consensus, 2008, a group of world‐renowned economists ranked micronutrient supplements (specifically high‐dose vitamin A, and therapeutic zinc supplements for children with diarrhea) as the top international development priority.

This paper also provides a cost‐benefit analysis of the specific solutions to provide decision‐makers with in‐depth recommendations on project implementation at a national level, which may be valuable for governments, international organizations, NGO’s and philanthropists.
