Enabling environments for nutrition advocacy: A comparison of infant and young child feeding and food fortification in Nigeria by Resnick, Danielle,Anigo, Kola,Anjorin, Olufolakemi Mercy Pdf

The importance of an enabling environment for effective nutrition advocacy is well-recognized, and several key elements of such an environment have been well-established in existing research. However, nutrition policies are multi-faceted, and advocates may target different elements of the policy process, from agenda setting to design to implementation. As a result, enabling environments are neither uniform nor static. Drawing on 66 interviews with a diverse group of stakeholders in Nigeria at the federal and subnational level, we examine some of the factors that have facilitated or hindered the ability of advocates to influence policy implementation in the domains of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and large-scale food fortification. In doing so, we show the importance of considering the politics, institutions, and resources specific to discrete policy categories as well as the characteristics of the broader policy system in which advocates are operating. By working across these two levels, advocates can both be reactive to the prevailing enabling environment as well as proactively consider strategies for overcoming obstacles.

Feeding Infants and Children from Birth to 24 Months by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,Health and Medicine Division,Food and Nutrition Board,Committee on Scoping Existing Guidelines for Feeding Recommendations for Infants and Young Children Under Age 2 Pdf

Recommendations for feeding infants and young children have changed substantially over time owing to scientific advances, cultural influences, societal trends, and other factors. At the same time, stronger approaches to reviewing and synthesizing scientific evidence have evolved, such that there are now established protocols for developing evidence-based health recommendations. However, not all authoritative bodies have used such approaches for developing infant feeding guidance, and for many feeding questions there is little or no sound evidence available to guide best practices, despite the fact that research on infant and young child feeding has expanded in recent decades. Summarizing the current landscape of feeding recommendations for infants and young children can reveal the level of consistency of existing guidance, shed light on the types of evidence that underpin each recommendation, and provide insight into the feasibility of harmonizing guidelines. Feeding Infants and Children from Birth to 24 Months collects, compares, and summarizes existing recommendations on what and how to feed infants and young children from birth to 24 months of age. This report makes recommendations to stakeholders on strategies for communicating and disseminating feeding recommendations.

Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding by World Health Organization Pdf

WHO and UNICEF jointly developed this global strategy to focus world attention on the impact that feeding practices have on the nutritional status, growth and development, health, and thus the very survival of infants and young children. The strategy is the result of a comprehensive two-year participatory process. It is based on the evidence of nutrition's significance in the early months and years of life, and of the crucial role that appropriate feeding practices play in achieving optimal health outcomes. The strategy is intended as a guide for action; it identifies interventions with a proven positive impact; it emphasizes providing mothers and families the support they need to carry out their crucial roles, and it explicitly defines the obligations and responsibilities in this regards of governments, international organizations, and other concerned parties.

Feeding and Nutrition of Infants and Young Children by Kim Fleischer Michaelsen Pdf

Optimum nutrition and good feeding of infants and young children are key determinants of their health, growth and development, both physical and mental. Good feeding practices will prevent malnutrition and early growth retardation, which is still common in some parts of the World Health Organization European Region. This publication contains the scientific rationale for the development of national nutrition and feeding recommendations from birth to age three years. The guidelines and recommendations are designed for the WHO European Region, with emphasis on the countries of the former Soviet Union. They are especially applicable to the most vulnerable groups of infants and young children living in deprived conditions, mainly in Eastern Europe , but also in ethnic minority and low income groups in Western Europe.

Food, Nutrition, and the Young Child by Jeannette Brakhane Endres,Robert E. Rockwell Pdf

Abstract: Basic concepts about food and nutrition as they apply to the care and well-being of young children are presented with emphasis on integration into the educational curriculum. Nutrient requirements of the child from birth through 5 years, along with curriculum approaches to learning are reviewed to promote the teaching of basic nutrition concepts in the group care setting. Influences on nutrition in the developing child (infants, toddlers, and preschoolers), food guides, and nutrient standards are discussed. An overview of food service management and menus in early childhood programs is also presented. The separation that usually exists between eating and learning activities can be narrowed if care givers, parents, and food service personnel work together to achieve the goals of nutrition education.

The State of the World's Children 2019 by United Nations Pdf

This report examines nutrition, providing a fresh perspective on a rapidly evolving challenge. Despite progress in the past two decades, around 200 million under-fives suffer from undernutrition. Adding to this toll is rising obesity, which affects 38 million children. All these forms of malnutrition threaten children’s development, while obesity is creating a lifelong legacy of disease. At the heart of this evolving challenge is a global shift towards modern diets that do not meet children’s nutritional requirements. The report provides unique data and analysis of malnutrition in the 21st century and outlines recommendations to put children’s needs at the heart of global and national food systems.
