Réalisation des objectifs de la stratégie :
a) La première mesure pour atteindre les objectifs de la présente stratégie consiste à réaffirmer la pertinence et même l’urgence des quatre cibles opérationnelles de la Déclaration « Innocenti » sur la protection, la promotion et le soutien de l’allaitement maternel :
b) Dans le cadre de l’initiative des hôpitaux « amis des bébés », le Mali à labellisé de 2002 à 2006, 19 structures sanitaires au niveau du District de Bamako et dans certaines régions (CSREF et CSCOM).
En outre, la Déclaration « Innocenti » se préoccupe uniquement de l’allaitement maternel. Il faut donc des cibles complémentaires pour refléter une approche globale répondant aux besoins en matière de soins et d’alimentation pendant les trois premières années de la vie au moyen de tout un ensemble de mesures liées entre elles.
c) A la lumière des données scientifiques accumulées et de l’expérience acquise en matière de politiques et de programmes, le moment est venu pour le Mali, avec l’appui des organisations internationales et des autres parties intéressées :
d) Compte tenu de ces considérations, la stratégie Nationale aura comme priorité l’atteinte des cibles opérationnelles supplémentaires ci-après :
Article 1er : Le présent arrêté fixe les règles applicables à la commercialisation, à l'information et au contrôle de la qualité des substituts du lait maternel.
Sont exclus du champ d'application du présent arrêté les aliments de complément communément appelés « aliments de sevrage »

Strategic principles
For the successful implementation of the policy the following strategic principles will be applied:
• Decentralization: bottom-up planning supported by increased implementation at provincial and district level;
• Prioritized targeting: focus on immediate needs and vulnerabilities
- Rural: Those groups living in remote upland areas with high levels of stunting
- Urban: Those groups with low educational status
- In transition: Those groups who have recently been resettled, who have been relocated from the uplands to the lowlands, and/or whose wild food resources have been destroyed
- Women of reproductive age: Women of reproductive age (focus will be women experiencing pregnancy, puerperium, and lactation) and children (focus will be children under 2 years, children under five years, and school age children)
• Integration and effective cooperation: integrating nutrition interventions into all relevant sectors;
• Institutionalizing nutrition within GoL: establishing coordination mechanisms for planning, implementation, management and M+E of the nutrition program;
• Capacity building and cultural sensitivity: providing technical skills and acknowledging cultural identity;
• Empowerment of women and vulnerable groups: ensure that women and vulnerable groups play an active decision-making role in the planning and implementation of nutrition interventions;

a) Restrict or ban the advertising and marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages through regulations, especially when targeting children, including mechanisms for monitoring.
b) Promotion of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life.
c) Continued breastfeeding until two years old and beyond, adequate and timely complementary feeding.
2) Develop guidelines, recommendations or policy measures that engage the relevant sectors, such as food producers and processors, and other relevant commercial operators, as well as consumers, to:
a) Reduce the level of salt/sodium added to food (prepared or processed).
b) Replace trans-fats with unsaturated fats in foods.
c) Increase the availability, accessibility and consumption of fruit and vegetables.
d) Reduce saturated fatty acids in food and replace them with unsaturated fatty acids.
e) Reduce the content of free and added sugars in food and non-alcoholic beverages.
f) Limit excess calorie intake, reduce portion size and energy density of foods.
3) Conduct evidence-informed public campaigns and social marketing initiatives to inform and encourage consumers about healthy dietary practices. Campaigns should be multisectoral in approach and should be linked to supporting actions across the community and within specific settings for maximum benefit and impact.
4) Promote the sustained availability and accessibility of healthy food in all public institutions, such as educational institutions and the workplace. This includes, inter alia, implementing nutrition standards for public sector catering establishments, using government contracts for food purchasing providing, and providing free drinking water through water fountains in selected public settings, such as schools or workplaces.
5) Improve the accessibility and encourage the consumption of healthier food products and discourage the consumption of less healthy options by implementing economic tools, such as taxes and subsidies that create incentives for behaviours associated with improved health outcomes (e.g. excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages and reduction of taxes on selected fruit and vegetables).
6) Create health- and nutrition-promoting environments, including through nutrition education, in schools, child care centres and other educational institutions, workplaces, health centres and hospitals, and other public and private institutions.
7) Develop policy measures that engage food retailers and caterers to improve the availability, accessibility and acceptability of healthy food products (plant foods, including fruit and vegetables, and products with reduced content of salt, saturated fatty acids, trans-fatty acids and free sugars).
8) Develop policy measures in cooperation/partnership with the agricultural sector to reinforce actions directed at food producers, processors, retailers, caterers and public institutions, in order to provide greater opportunities for utilization of healthy agricultural products and foods, including those locally made.
9) Promote nutrition labelling, according to but not limited to, international standards, in particular the Codex Alimentarius (e.g. providing at least contents in energy, carbohydrates, sugar, saturated and unsaturated fats, proteins, salt, in a well and easily readable format and possibly using traffic light warnings), for all pre-packaged foods, particularly for those for which nutrition or health claims are made and those targeting youths.
10) Actively seek to mobilize the required financial and non-financial resources through budgetary allocation and other means as required for implementation of activities 1-9 above.
