Abstract

The planning process took off from the National Plan of Action for IYCF 2005-2010. The plan was developed through a highly participatory manner. Two workshops were conducted, the first in September 15-17, 2009 to review the program performance and determine the planning framework and the second in March 24-26, 2010 to set the strategies and the activities of the plan. A series of consultations followed before the completion of the document. The goal of the Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Strategic Plan of Action for 2011-2016 is to reduce child mortality and morbidity through optimal feeding of infants and young children. Its main objective is to ensure and accelerate the promotion, protection and support of good IYCF practice.
