Background
 
Started
on 2006 CARE has tried to prevent malnutrition in infants and young children
under 24 months old in West Timor through an approach to increase the knowledge
and skills of health workers and community with regards to optimal infant and
young child feeding practices by working with key community contacts. Starting
on 2008 CARE through Prima Bina program start to promote, protect and support infant and young child feeding and related
maternal nutrition in the province of East Nusa Tenggara, with experience in
Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) program CARE learned that a well
designed behavior change communication (BCC) strategy is needed to improve, not
only the feeding practices but also the maternal nutrition, which is directly
related to the optimal health of the newborn. CARE also learned some challenges
such as:
* CARE
project's staffs, health workers, and village health volunteer need to acquire
the knowledge and skills to be able to facilitate and support IYCF practices in
the communities (as we are addressing maternal and child rights);
* Related
maternal (health and) nutrition needs to be addressed to prevent low
intrauterine growth in order to reduce rates/ numbers of babies born with low
birth weight. As the impact it will increase their chance for survival;
* Behavior
change and communication strategies need to be well developed and applied into
the activities of the project;
* Decision
making on maternal and child care (including feeding practices) in the
community where IYCF-E worked was mainly done by the family members (i.e.
father, grandmother, other elder relatives, etc) and not the pregnant and
lactating mothers.
Therefore,
