2.3. Goal and objective of the National IYCF Policy and Strategy
The IYCF Policy and Strategy is designed to contribute to the objectives of the Afghanistan National Health and Nutrition Sector Strategy 2008-2013 of reducing child and maternal mortality and malnutrition.
Its overall goal is the same as the overall goal of the Public Nutrition Policy and Strategy, namely: To reduce all forms of undernutrition, thereby improving the growth, development and health of Afghan infants and young children, through improved infant and young child feeding practices.
The objective of the Infant and Young Child Feeding Policy, and its associated Strategy is:
To increase the percentage of child caregivers adopting appropriate infant and young child feeding and caring practices (by 20%, by 2013).
Strategic components and approaches to achieve this objective are described in section 3 of the present document.
2.4. Purpose of the Infant and Young Child Feeding Policy and Strategy
The purpose of the present Policy and Strategy is to describe the Government of Afghanistan’s position on IYCF, in accordance with the Global Strategy on IYCF. All key stakeholders directly or indirectly involved in IYCF, notably health sector professionals, NGOs, UN agencies, military, and private sector, are responsible, and will be held accountable, for respecting the present Policy.
This document also clarifies the strategies that need to be adopted and interventions to be implemented to achieve the policy objectives. It will serve to support advocacy and resource mobilization, as well as coordination between the main implementing partners (MoPH Departments, BPHS partners, NGOs, UN, private sector, communities). Finally, it provides guidance on how to monitor the protection and promotion of optimal IYCF in Afghanistan.
","Strategy for Promoting Optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding
The IYCF Policy and Strategy is designed to contribute to the objectives of the Afghan National Health and Nutrition Sector Strategy and the overall goal of the Public Nutrition Policy and Strategy by focusing on the following objective:
To increase the percentage of child caregivers adopting appropriate infant and young child feeding and caring practices (by 20% by 2013).
This objective will be achieved through the following three strategy components:
1. Application of IYCF Policy and Strategy supported by advocacy, technical guidance and law enforcement
National IYCF Policy and Strategy
1. Disseminate the National IYCF Policy and Strategy amongst all key stakeholders (MoPH, MAIL, MoJ, MoMI, MoEd, MoRA, MoWA, NGO’s, private sector).
2. Regular updating of IYCF action plan and preparation of a resource mobilization plan to support the implementation of the IYCF Policy & Strategy
3. Review MoPH related sub-policies, strategies and guidelines and make sure IYCF has been reflected in these documents
The Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes
4. Establish a National Committee for the Enforcement of the Code
5. Establish enforcement mechanisms for the Code of Marketing of BMS
6. Disseminate information on the Code (including translations) and related legislation to all key stakeholders (Provincial Departments of Health, PRTs, private sector, all health facilities, MOWA, NGOs, etc.) through posters, leaflets, and workshops
7. Training of Code monitors (IBFAN)
Maternity protection
8. Establish enforcement mechanisms and develop guidelines for the implementation of the Maternity Protection Act
9. Inform working women of their rights under the Maternity Protection Act (e.g. through leaflets and radio; can be part of IYCF Public Awareness Campaign)
IYCF Guidelines
10. Review existing international guidelines and national training packages and develop a comprehensive and coherent set of harmonized guidelines covering IYCF policy and priorities and strategic interventions, namely: IYCF promotion in different health facilities (including BFHI guidelines); IYCF promotion at community level; Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies; Implementation of the Code, etc.
11. Disseminate guidelines to the relevant stakeholders, and conduct trainings on their implementation (c.f. also training activities under outputs 2 and 3)
Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies
12. As part of the Afghan IYCF guidelines, develop a section on IYCF in Emergencies based on the internationally endorsed Operational Guidance for IFE
13. Disseminate the IFE Guidelines to all relevant stakeholders (including the Disaster Management Committee, the PRT, NGOs and Provincial Development Councils) and ensure they are implemented in emergency situations.
2. Caregivers know optimal IYCF practices and are supported in providing optimal care and mobilizing the resources required for IYCF, through IEC/BCC and community support interventions.
Public awareness Raising
Establishment of community support groups and interventions
Integration of IYCF in non-health community-level interventions
3. IYCF promotion and counselling is effectively implemented as part of the BPHS and EPHS in all health facilities.
Capacity-building of various categories of personnel involved in implementation will be an integrated component of each strategic priority/output. Advocacy and resource mobilization will be essential to enable the implementation of the activities required to achieve these outputs. An advocacy and resource mobilization plan will therefore be developed. The activities to be implemented to achieve these outputs/strategic priorities are described below.
Expansion of Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative to more hospitals and selected health facilities providing MCH services
1. Review lesson learned from the current BFHI
2. Train pool of BF assessors/advocates at the central and regional level.
3. Develop tools, conduct assessment/re-assessment to certifying health facilities as Baby-friendly
4. Train health facility staff on measures required to comply with BFHI criteria and implement these measures
5. Supervise and monitor facilities and provide certificates for facilities complying with BFHI criteria
Integrationif IYCF counselling in all health gacilities
6. Develop guidelines and establish IYCF corners in health facilities, including breastfeeding counselling and participatory cooking sessions (N.B. can be part of child health corner)
7. Ensure IYCF counselling is part of health education activities, including breastfeeding demonstration and participatory cooking sessions
8. Ensure breastfeeding counselling and re-lactation assistance are part of the management of acute malnutrition (in TFU and CMAM)
9. Identify at least one referral centre in each province for referral of complicated and difficult lactation and IYCF cases.
Training of health staff on IYCF
10. Integrate IYCF into the curricula of all medical and paramedic education institutions including community midwifery school and postgraduate programs (esp. residency training programs in paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology).
11. Develop training packages and job aids on IYCF for different health staff categories, including: doctors, nurses, midwives, community midwives, and CHWs
12. Integrate IYCF training modules as part of in-service trainings, in particular for MCH staff, CHWs & midwives (e.g. as part of C-IMCI training)
13. Distribute printed material and job aids to all facilities, including for CHWs and community midwives as part of C-IMCI
15. Train and establish pool of trainers at the national level and in “each region” on MBFI and IYCF, in particular by training Provincial Nutrition Officers on IYCF
16. Train at least 2 MCH staff of each health facility.
17. Train out-reach staff to enable them to integrate IYCF in out-reach services.
","Indicator (Baseline, Target)
Overall Goal: The prevalence of chronic and global acute undernutrition among children 0-59 months and the prevalence of MDDs are reduced by 10% of current levels

The NMNAP’s broad goal is to accelerate scaling up of high impact multisectoral nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive interventions and creating an enabling environment for improved nutrition, to contribute to the building of a healthy and wealthy nation.
NMNAP Key targets by 2020/21
4.5 Key strategies
4.5.1 Community-centred multisectoral approach as overarching strategy
82. Acknowledging that nutrition is a crosscutting issue that requires the effective contribution of multiple actors, sectors and administrative levels, the NMNAP is based on a national multisectoral strategic nutrition framework for planning, implementation and coordination. Thus, the overarching strategy for the NMNAP is a community-centred multisectoral nutrition approach that explicitly embraces simultaneous actions for nutrition specific interventions at the level of immediate causes and nutrition sensitive interventions at the levels of underlying and basic causes of malnutrition. A multisectoral nutrition system is composed of multiple sectors (e.g. agriculture, health, WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene), education, social protection, environment); multiple levels (national, regional, Local Government Authorities and importantly the community); and multiple partners (Government, development partners – UN/multi-laterals, bilaterals, NGOs, CSOs, academia and private sector). The multisectoral community-centred strategy is based on the overwhelming scientific evidence that achieving high coverage of the evidence-based high impact nutrition interventions (Lancet Nutrition Series 2008 and 2013) requires multisectoral harmonization and collaboration with key nutrition stakeholders.
4.5.2 Supportive cross-cutting strategies
83. The overarching multisectoral approach is complemented by several supportive strategies which are relevant and applicable to each of the seven key result areas. These include: -
1) Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) for nutrition through interpersonal communication and mass media to promote adoption of appropriated behaviours and practices and commitment to achieving common results for everyone and everywhere in the country for improved nutrition. The NMNAP will use the SBCC Strategy for 2013-2018.
2) Advocacy and Social mobilization to sustain political will and Government commitment for nutrition and to mobilise adequate resources for nutrition. Social mobilisation activities are important to create awareness of the problems of malnutrition among decision makers and community members to improve nutrition. For example, a 2013 landscape analysis by TFNC found that policy makers and communities do not perceive stunting and micronutrient deficiencies as problems to be addressed. Since many of the actions in advocacy and social mobilization require behavioural, attitude and practice changes by policy makers and communities for overall societal change all types of media need to be involved. Social mobilization will also increase the participation of communities in the implementation of the NMNAP. Since the key actors for improved nutrition are households and communities ensuring their active participation of communities is a critical success factor for the NMNAP.
3) Community-Centred Capacity Development (CCCD): The development of human, institutional and organizational capacity is critical in the implementation of the NMNAP especially at the community level. Community participation in doing their own triple A processes of assessment, analysis and action can be greatly enhanced by developing the capacity of the community and that of community-based organisations to support social accountability mechanisms (see section 6.1 for definition of social accountability). Recognizing that communities constitute the greater whole of society and that they exist in relationship with society as a whole, development of capacity of communities should go hand in hand with developing capacity at the higher levels – council, district, region, national.
4) Developing functional human resource capacity: Although human resource technical capacity in nutrition is fairly adequate, functional capacity in communication skills, coordination and strategic leadership and management requires further development. System-wide development of nutrition relevant institutions, especially for TFNC as the institutional leader in the implementation of this NMNAP will be given priority. Institutionalization of the nutrition steering committees at all levels and developing their functional capacity will be further explored.
5) Aligning all stakeholders with the NMNAP through Community-Public-Private Partnerships (C-PPP) using the “three ONES principle” of ONE plan, ONE coordinating mechanism and ONE monitoring and evaluation framework, so that every stakeholder come together to tackle malnutrition and build an enabling environment for improved nutrition with equity. Capacities will be developed to conduct and manage C-PPPs as part of a collaborative leadership strategy. Forming strategic partnerships at all levels of the nutrition system will enhance coordination and accountability. Strategic collaboration, including the engagement of the private sector through implementation of appropriate principles of social and corporate responsibility, is likely to result in cost-efficiency and effectiveness and promote ownership and sustainability.
6) Delivery of quality and timely nutrition services: This NMNAP will promote the delivery of nutrition and nutrition-relevant services that are timely and of high quality. Tools will be put in place to assess the effective implementation and delivery of services, and where bottlenecks are identified, remedial and corrective measures will be adopted including legal enforcement as appropriate.
7) Mainstream equality in all the seven Key Result Areas of the NMNAP without discrimination, focusing on women, children and adolescent girls. Although generally Tanzania has made good progress in empowering women, traditional patriarchal practices remain, that favour men, including in nutrition relevant practices, and are often reflected in both formal and informal systems and institutions especially in the rural areas.
8) A resource mobilization strategy will be developed to advocate for resource allocation to the NMNAP by both Government and partners.
9) Tracking progress and operational research and development will be promoted to ensure key lessons and insights gained from the implementation of the NMNAP are learnt and used in adjusting and improving the proposed interventions at regular intervals and linking research with programmes and training. Research will also provide quality assurance, robust data on program performance and support learning. Linking research to the programmes and to training will assure evidence-based sharing of experience and intergenerational transfer of knowledge. Efforts will be made to link the implementation of the NMNAP with nutrition-relevant centres of excellence both nationally and internationally.
10) Overall planning and coordination is a key strategy to align implementation of the NMNAP to achieve far greater results than what single sectors could achieve alone.
