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

Locally available and sustainable food interventions are needed to combat the problem of malnutrition in infants and young children in low-income countries.

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.

Alive & Thrive (A&T) Viet Nam, developed and incorporated elements of social franchising into government health services to provide high-quality nutrition counseling services to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.

The goal of this paper was to document and describe sales and marketing of breast-milk substitutes (BMS) and their influence on World Health Organization-recommended breastfeeding behaviors, focusing on low- and middle-income countries.

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