The goal of the Alive & Thrive (A&T) Grants Program (2009 to 2014) was to identify new solutions for scaling up effective and sustainable interventions to improve infant and young child feeding by linking research to program delivery.

This implementation manual for BRAC’s community-based Alive & Thrive IYCF program describes four core interventions (home visits, antenatal/postnatal care, health forums, and community mobilization) and the human resources, training, supervision, incentives, and monitoring to support them.
