UNICEF/AED Review of Infant and Young Child Feeding Programs Published
Posted on July 15, 2010

UNICEF has published a review of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) programs prepared by AED as part of UNICEF's midterm review of its Medium-Term Strategic Plan for 2006-2013. The review draws upon the findings from six case studies of national efforts to improve IYCF, especially breastfeeding, during the past 10-15 years in Bangladesh, Benin, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Uganda, and Uzbekistan. The purpose of the review was to understand the factors that influenced breastfeeding practices and to learn from the experience in these countries. The consolidated report includes country profiles with trend data and a discussion of nine key program elements, lessons learned, and recommendations. All the documents are available below for downloading.
