Publication Date September 1, 2020 Interventions that go beyond simply providing information and engage family members in discussing and reconsidering traditional roles and practices related to child feeding and care can lead to more positive effects. Created by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) s flagship multi-sectoral nutrition project USAID Advancing Nutrition, this guidance translates research findings into practical recommendations for interventions that engage family members - not just mothers - in care and feeding of children. Designed for programme planners and implementers who seek to improve maternal, infant, and young child nutrition, it is intended to inform the design of social and behaviour change (SBC) strategy, plans for a new or improved activity, or the adaptive management phase of a nutrition programme.
