Vitamin A Supplementation (VAS) remains a vital child-survival intervention that significantly reduces mortality in vitamin A–deficient populations. Global VAS coverage initially peaked at 78% in 2009, dropped to 41% in 2020 due to pandemic disruptions, but recovered to the same high level in the years that followed.
The Vitamin A Supplementation in a New Age (VINA) initiative, launched in 2023 with Global Affairs Canada funding, operates across 15 sub-Saharan African countries. By 2024, over 50 million children (6–59 months) received two VAS doses. However, coverage remains unevenly distributed within and between countries, with several countries consistent posting very low coverage, highlighting persistent system and equity challenges.
VINA has a strong mandate to identify and address gender-related barriers to quality VAS services. Headquarters, regional, and country teams have integrated gender analysis and action planning into their programming with set targets to report on. Four VINA countries are implementing special studies on gender and VAS.
