This toolkit introduces and disseminates knowledge products from A&T's key interventions and impact in Southeast Asia from  2017-2021 under 3 key program objectives: 

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.

Building on experiences and lessons learned from its first five years in Ethiopia, Alive & Thrive Phase II (2014-2017) provided support to roll out elements of the government’s multi-sectoral National Nutrition Program (NNP) aimed at improving breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices

This tool consists of a simple table that traces the pathway from formative research findings in Ethiopia— especially regarding the benefits and barriers to priority behaviors—to approaches/messages for the radio component of our intervention.

Provides a list of small doable actions (i.e., priority behaviors or feeding practices) for mothers and concrete actions that other groups (e.g., fathers, grandmothers, health extension workers, religious leaders) can take to support a mother’s actions.

Outlines the priority program messages in Ethiopia and provides sample production plans for incorporating these in Season 2 radio dramas. This checklist was used by Alive & Thrive’s team in Ethiopia in 2015.
