About
Overview:The JP aimed to complement existing efforts to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices anchored in exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during the first six months of life, together with introduction of complementary feeding from six months of age onward and continued breastfeeding. It endeavors to create an enabling environment for optimum infant and young child feeding practices that are promoted, supported and protected by communities and the nation as a whole through strengthened partnerships, joint programming and increased government ownership. By the end of the JP, more than 23% mothers were exclusively breastfeeding their babies under 6 month old. While this can’t be attributed solely to JP it can be assumed the JP contributed. It also promoted initiatives to support breastfeeding in the workplace in both the formal and informal sectors. During the JP a nearly 6% annual decrease in the prevalence of under nutrition was reported. Interventions included counseling on complementary feeding, recipe trials and supply and distribution of multiple micronutrient powder (MNP). While the JP did not have specific targets for anemia prevalence, the end line survey showed a decline among children 6-24 months old and a more significant decline for children 6-11 months old. The JP assessed knowledge, attitudes and practices on policies related to IYCF in the first year as a basis for actions. It piloted an early warning system for food and nutrition security, and helped strengthen the evaluation information system.
