In 2003, new initiatives were developed and instituted to accelerate progress to achieve the goal of USE These efforts have been spearheaded by the Department of Health and supported by the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF), Kiwanis and ICCIDD. There is renewed optimism that strengthening and enforcing the law on salt iodization, and making iodized salt more affordable and available through cutting taxes, will accelerate the effort to eliminate IDD in the Phifippines.
