摘要

With support of USAID, UNICEF started in January 2003 a two-year Iodine Deficiency Disorders and Salt Iodization (IDD/USI) project together with MOH. The objectives were to achieve universal iodization of all salt used for human and animal consumption; to increase the awareness of public through community education on the importance of iodized salt consumption; to train health personnel in high-risk areas; to increase the capacity for quality assurance, control and monitoring; mobilization of all sectors including salt producers and importers (private and governmental), government ministries, provincial authorities, NGOs and community leaders; to improve salt producers capacity to produce iodized salt; to improve knowledge and capacity of salt importers and to improve the assessment and monitoring system. A decision was made that the project should in its first phase target the Senior Government officials to raise awareness on the importance of the IDD and iodization of salt as a most efficient and effective intervention; profit oriented sector both private and governmental convinced that their contribution will have a direct impact on the elimination of iodine deficiency disorders, thus in turn on the well-being of children and women in the country. Workshops, meetings and conferences were held including salt producers, salt importers and other partners. Community leaders, teachers and NGOs were actively involved in project activities. Schools were the main entry points for the social mobilization and education activities. The Azerbaijan Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) in 2000 showed that amongst surveyed households, only 41.3% had adequately iodized salt. Iodized salt production started in Azerbaijan in 1991. Before this, all iodized salt was imported from other regions in the Soviet Union. Today an estimated 30-40 thousand tons of iodized salt is needed annually, most of which is imported mainly from Ukraine with small amounts produced locally in Azerbaijan. As a result of implemented activities the consumption of iodized salt at households increased from 44% (2002) to 70 % in 2003 and selling of iodized salt at the market increased from 30% (2002) to 68% in 2003 bringing the commitment of universal salt iodization by end 2003 almost close. Monitoring results conducted by the youth volunteers in 16 districts showed that 89.1% of salt tested in the markets was iodized, 76.2% of consumers at the markets had interest in iodized salt, 82% of the market sellers said that they advised their customers to purchase iodized salt, 72% of cafes and restaurants visited used iodized salt, 60.9% of families used iodized salt regularly, 25% use iodized salt occasionally, 86.2% of families said that iodized salt was available at their local market, 65% of families interviewed could explain the need for using iodized salt and 66% knew how to keep iodized salt and the best way to use iodized salt so that its iodine content was kept to the maximum.
