Assessment
of Status of IYCF:Practice, Policy and Program:Achievements
and Gaps
India has
a good document in the form of National
Guidelines for Infant and Young Child Feeding,
which is consistent with the Global Strategy
for Infant and Young Child Feeding. It also
has a national policy on nutrition, which,
should be revised to make it consistent
with the global recommendations. Though
a National Breastfeeding Committee exists,
it is mainly non-functional, and lacks representation
of all stakeholders. It is also not linked
with other sectors such as health, nutrition,
etc. The coordinator’s terms of reference
should be made clearer and the meetings
schedule should be regularised. This has
led to the existence of several gaps, which
do not allow the policy to the implemented
effectively. Download
