Explores the potential contribution that underused, micronutrient-rich foods could make in addressing nutrient gaps in complementary foods and suggests ways to promote their access consumption.

Examines why infants require a much higher quality diet than other members of the household, identifies nutrient gaps in typical complementary food diets, and describes strategies for achieving adequate nutrient intake among children 6-24 months old.

Addresses the breastfeeding support needs of healthy, full-term babies born via cesarean delivery to healthy mothers.

Presents the methodology and results of using linear programming to determine whether micronutrient needs could be met using only unfortified local foods in three countries, explores options for meeting these needs that includes fortified products, and compares the costs of the various scenarios.

An Alive & Thrive (A&T) study in Viet Nam examined determinants of the gap between breastfeeding awareness and practices.

By mapping the mechanisms through which interventions are expected to achieve impact, program impact pathway (PIP) analysis lays out the theoretical causal links between program activities, outcomes, and impacts.
