Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN)
Evidence-based nutrition interventions for mothers and children
Our MIYCN approach focuses specifically on nutrition interventions for mothers, infants, and young children. We implement evidence-based feeding practices, provide targeted nutrition counseling, and support optimal nutrition during the critical early life periods.
Maternal Nutrition
Supporting pregnant and lactating women through targeted nutrition counseling, micronutrient supplementation, and addressing malnutrition. Proper maternal nutrition is crucial for preventing low birth weight and ensuring adequate breast milk production.
Infant and Young Child Feeding
Promoting optimal feeding practices including early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, and appropriate complementary feeding. These practices are among the most effective interventions for child survival and development.
Health System Strengthening
Building capacity of healthcare workers, improving service delivery, and integrating nutrition services into existing health platforms. This ensures sustainable and scalable impact across communities.
