From January 2010 to December 2011, the Infant and Young Child Nutrition (IYCN) Project supported the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) and US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) partners in Ethiopia to improve maternal and child nutrition practices and increase HIV-free survival of children. Although Ethiopia has successfully integrated services for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV with antenatal care (ANC) services, many facility-based providers lack nutrition counseling skills and access to tools and materials to help them offer adequate support to mothers and children. The project worked with the Ethiopian government and partners to improve the quality of nutrition assessment, counseling, and support services in several communities in Addis, Oromia, and Amhara regions where the HIV prevalence rate is disproportionately high. This included developing behavior change communication tools and materials for health workers, health extension workers, and mothers’ support groups; updating the skills of agricultural extension workers to integrate nutrition education; and training health workers to better counsel mothers, particularly those who are HIV-positive, about optimal maternal, infant, and young child nutrition practices.
","Nutritional care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS was reported to the Global Nutrition Policy Review (GNPR) 2009-2010The FMOH has developed a four-pronged national strategy for PMTCT: primary prevention of HIV infection; prevention of unintended pregnancies among HIV-positive women; prevention of HIV transmission from infected women to their infants; and treatment, care, and support of HIVpositive women and their infants and families. All health centers have a system of identifying infants born to HIV-positive mothers as part of their PMTCT program. 11The following is a brief description of the flow of PMTCT services, commencing from a woman’s first visit for ANC:All women coming for ANC are routinely informed—individually or in a group—about the benefits of HIV testing for mothers and babies. During this process—known as providerinitiated HIV counseling and testing—mothers reserve the right to say “NO.” Those who say “YES” will be tested.Women with positive results are referred to MSG mentors, and ANC follow-up continues. Their partners will also be tested.MSG mentors counsel an HIV-positive woman and transfer her to the ART nurse for antiretroviral drugs.The ART nurse takes a CD4 count. If not eligible for treatment based on her count, the woman will commence treatment and ANC follow-up continues. If she is eligible for treatment based on her count, she will be put on complete antiretroviral prophylaxis that starts at 27 weeks of gestation.Follow-up continues and the mother is advised to deliver at a health facility.At delivery, the infant will be started on prophylaxis as an HIV-exposed infant.A dried blood sample will be taken from the infant for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing after 45 days.Follow-up continues until cessation of breastfeeding, with re-screening done six weeks later.

She was not married and had tested HIV positive. Since the time she had learned her HIV status, Aberash had been visiting the health center in Shashemene at least once every week—and sometimes more often. Her primary concern was transmitting HIV to her unborn baby. Sr Terunesh*, the nurse responsible for ANC services at the health center, had been counseling Aberash on a number of issues related to her well-being and that of the baby. These discussions usually included nutrition-related issues, specifically breastfeeding and its potential hazards. In addition to these counseling sessions, Sr Terunesh had connected Aberash with the MSG for continued support, counseling, and encouragement, both from the mentors and from other mothers in the group.* Not her real name.

","Behaviour change communication and/or counselling for improved complementary feeding was reported to the Global Nutrition Policy Review (GNPR) 2009-2010Trials for Improved Practices (TIPs) is a relatively new and innovative methodology for Ethiopia, especially its use in shaping critical strategies to improve IYCF behaviors. The standard approach to TIPs implementation involves three household visits. The purpose of the first visit is to learn about current household feeding practices. The second visit is a ―counseling visit,‖ which includes the negotiating of a new practice with the mother or caregiver for her to try. The third visit is a follow-up visit to check on the mother’s experience in implementing the recommended/negotiated new practice. This ―negotiation TIPs‖ is mainly used in maternal and infant feeding, and identifies the best choices among a number of different actions that could yield IYCF nutrition benefits.

These services include:
Goal:
Improve family health, especially for mothers, newborns, and children.
Project Objectives:
IFHP emphasizes a continuum of care approach at household/family, community and health facility levels through the provision of selected evidence-based and high-impact packages of services. This project plays an integral role in assisting the Ministry of Health to develop and change national policies, such as the use of antibiotics at the community level. The project supports the Government of Ethiopia in its Health Sector Development Plan and enhancing the Government’s management capacity as decentralization continues, leaving behind a well-functioning health system. By increasing the quality of health workers at the primary health care level and increasing demand for quality services, IFHP improves health behaviors and utilization of services. Additionally, IFHP also strengthens the promotion of essential nutrition actions with a strong focus on behavior change at both the community and facility level.
