The catalytic support provided by the Zonal Coordinators at field level has significantly improved the quality of iodized salt as more millers are now using SIPs with much satisfaction. The millers are receiving immediate feedback on the iodine content from the Zonal Coordinators as the tests are being done at the zonal salt testing laboratories, thus they can rectify the iodine dosing as required. They act as a focal point in organizing the Half-yearly review meetings for millers involving the Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) and representatives from the local government. Moreover, there is also the need to facilitate troubleshooting various bottlenecks including utilizing local maintenance agencies and support the effective functioning of the government salt testing laboratories.
