To fill a knowledge gap of how potential contribution of targeted advocacy can improve policy environments in low and middle-income countries, this study tracked changes in the policy environment over a four-year period in three countries and examined the role of targeted nutrition and IYCF advoc

This paper included a literature review and four case studies (including A&T work in Bangladesh) on large-scale nutrition programs with proven impact.
