Improving Young Children’s Diets During the Complementary Feeding Period

This Programming Guidance goes beyond feeding practices to articulate interventions and approaches for improving the availability, accessibility, affordability and consumption of nutritious and safe complementary foods. In addition, this Programming Guidance describes the most recent evidence on improving complementary feeding, explores the determinants and drivers of young children’s diets, and presents action frameworks for delivering nutrition results for children through the food, health, water and sanitation, and social protection systems. It also provides guidance on monitoring and evaluating complementary feeding programmes and outcomes.
