Eighty-five percent of the population in Amhara is Orthodox Christian.

From 2010-2014, Alive & Thrive worked in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Viet Nam to reduce undernutrition and death caused by sub-optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.

The Alive & Thrive (A&T) initiative aimed to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices in Ethiopia through large-scale implementation of social and behavior change communication interventions in four regions of Ethiopia.

Describes the Alive & Thrive initiative by outlining how and why we began, what we’ve achieved and how we’ve evolved today. Also illustrates the four component framework that we use to scale up nutrition.

Malnutrition in children under 5 years of age is pervasive in Ethiopia across all wealth quintiles.

The goal of this project was to assess the willingness of parents and caregivers of children under the age of 5 to purchase a lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS) for their children on a weekly basis.
