Alive & Thrive a mené une recherche formative pour mieux comprendre les déterminants, les facilitateurs et les obstacles à l’adoption d’interventions de nutrition maternelle pour les femmes enceintes et leurs nourrissons en Burkina Faso.

With the support and guidance from key Infant and Young Child Feeding and Maternal Nutrition partners, Alive & Thrive, UNICEF, and WeCan jointly developed this set of 11 cards as part of an IYCF Message Toolkit.

Alive & Thrive's implementation research spans its program areas, seeking to answer "how" to implement effective interventions and policies. Active studies are detailed in the attached documents.

These nutrition profiles present MIYCN data for six regions of Burkina Faso, including data on health and nutrition indicators, causes of undernutrition, nutrition promotion platforms and antenatal and child health care, and global nutrition targets.

Undernourished pregnant women give birth to small, low birth weight babies who are often born before time and are at high risk of illness and death.
