9. Key provisions regarding IFE should be reflected in government, multi-sector and agency
policies and should guide emergency responses.
1: Endorse or develop policies
2: Train staff
Sensitisation and training on IFE is necessary at multiple levels and across sectors.
10. Capacity to coordinate IFE should be established in the coordination mechanism for every
emergency response. Government is the lead IFE coordination authority. Where this is not
possible or support is needed, IFE coordination is the mandated responsibility of UNICEF
or UNHCR, depending on context, in close collaboration with government, other UN
agencies and operational partners.
Where all provisions of OG-IFE cannot be immediately met, context-specific guidance on
appropriate actions and acceptable ‘compromises’ should be provided by the IFE
coordination authority and mandated UN agencies.
Timely, accurate and harmonised communication to the affected population, emergency
responders and the media is essential
3: Coordinate operations
11. Needs assessment and critical analysis should determine a context specific IFE response
Pre-crisis data
Rapid decision-making and action
Early needs assessment
In depth assessment
Monitoring
It is essential to monitor the impact of humanitarian actions and inaction on IYCF
practices, child nutrition and health; to consult with the affected population in planning
and implementation; and to document experiences to inform preparedness and future
response.
4: Assess & Monitor
12. Immediate action to protect recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices
and minimise risks is necessary in the early stages of an emergency, with targeted support
to higher risk infants and children
General
Breastfeeding support
Infants who are not breastfed – incl. relactation, wet nursing, donor human milk, BMS
Complementary feeding
Micronutrient supplementation
HIV and infant feeding
Infectious disease outbreaks
5: Protect, promote and support optimal IYCF with integrated multi-sector interventions
13. In every emergency, it is necessary to assess and act to protect and support the nutrition
needs and care of both breastfed and non-breastfed infants and young children. It is
important to consider prevalent practices, the infectious disease environment, cultural
sensitivities and expressed needs and concerns of mothers/caregivers when determining
interventions
In every emergency, it is important to ensure access to adequate amounts of appropriate,
safe, complementary foods and associated support for children and to guarantee
nutritional adequacy for pregnant and lactating women.
5: Protect, promote and support optimal IYCF with integrated multi-sector interventions
14. Multi-sector collaboration is essential in an emergency to facilitate and complement
direct infant and young child feeding (IYCF) interventions. Actions are included for:

Adolescent
Services
WASH FSL
Child
Protection
ECD Disability Shelter
Cash
Social
Protection
Agriculture Logistics
WASH: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, FSL: Food Security and Livelihoods, ECD: Early Childhood Development
15. In emergencies, the use of breastmilk substitutes (BMS) requires a context-specific,
coordinated package of care and skilled support to ensure the nutritional needs of non-
breastfed children are met and to minimise risks to all children through inappropriate use
Donations in emergencies
Artificial feeding management
BMS supplies
BMS specification
Procurement of BMS supplies, feeding equipment and support
Distribution of BMS
Donations of BMS, complementary foods and feeding equipment should not be sought or
accepted in emergencies; supplies should be purchased based on assessed need. BMS,
other milk products, bottles and teats should never be included in a general distribution.

17. **INSTRUCTION SLIDE**
The following slides cover implications of the revisions in the Operational Guidance on
IFE for stakeholders involved with Food Security and Livelihoods in Emergencies.
Please delete slides that are not applicable to your audience and cross reference to
internal documents and processes where relevant.
18. Implications for…FSL
FSL is a key sector to sensitise and work with on IYCF.
3.6 Coordinate with other sectors to identify opportunities for multi-sector
collaboration in needs assessment and programming and to inform sector policies,
actions plans and risk management regarding IFE.
3.4 The level of coordination, including whether a dedicated IFE coordinator is
necessary, will depend on the context. Wherever possible, support government to
fulfil their IFE coordination responsibility and work with existing country-level
structures and mechanisms. Identify or locate IFE coordination capacity within the
most relevant sector coordination mechanism, such as nutrition, health or food
security.
19. Implications for…FSL
4.2 Explore opportunities to include IYCF questions in other sector needs assessments
and draw on relevant multi-sector data. In multi-sector assessment teams, ensure one
person has received basic orientation on IFE.
4.5 Nutrition information may also be obtained through joint nutrition and food
security assessments such as Joint Approach to Nutrition and Food Security
Assessment (JANFSA); Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis
(CFSVA); and Food Security and Nutrition Monitoring Systems (FSNMS).
4.6.1 Key contextual data to consider for an IFE response includes household food
security - incl. access to appropriate complementary foods
20. Implications for…FSL
5.22 Key considerations in determining complementary feeding response
include pre-existing and existing nutrient gaps; seasonality; socio-cultural
beliefs; food security; current access to appropriate foods; quality of locally
available complementary foods, including commercial products; compliance to
the Code and with WHO Guidance on ending inappropriate promotion of foods
for infants and young children of available products; cost; proportion of non-
breastfed infants and childrenhh; reports of children with disability-associated
feeding difficulties; maternal nutrition; WASH conditions; the nature and
capacity of existing markets and delivery systems; national legislation related to
food and drugs, particularly importation; and evidence of impact of different
approaches in a given or similar contexts.
21. Implications for…FSL
5.23 Complementary food support options/considerations include:
• Cash or voucher schemes to purchase nutrient-rich foods and/or fortified foods that are locally available.
• Distribution of nutrient-rich foods or fortified foods at household level.
• Provision of multiple-micronutrient fortified foods to children aged 6-23 months and PLW through BSFP
• Home fortification with micronutrient supplements, e.g. MNPs or other supplements.
• Livelihood programmes and safety net programmes for families with children < 2 and/or PLW.
• Use of animal milk and products. (see 5.25)
• Provision of non-food items and cooking supplies (including domestic energy);
• Access to communal food preparation areas where household facilities are lacking;
• Advice on safe food handling;
• Protected eating and playing spaces.
22. Implications for…FSL
5.25 Where animal milk is a significant feature of child
diets, such as in pastoral communities, it is important to
establish how to safely include milk products as part of a
complementary diet. Milk products can be used to
prepare complementary foods for all children over six
months of age. Recommend to breastfeeding mothers
not to displace or substitute breastmilk with animal
milk. Pasteurised or boiled animal milk may be provided
to non-breastfed children over six months of age and to
breastfeeding mothers to drink in controlled
environments . Animal milk should not be distributed
outside of such controlled environments.
23. Implications for…FSL
5.6 Collaborate across multiple sectors to maximise synergies and opportunities to
support recommended IYCF and minimise risks
5.32 Examples of two-way multi-sector collaboration include:
• Integrate breastfeeding support into community-based and inpatient services treating acute
malnutrition and sick children and into community health worker networks. Integrate skilled
complementary feeding support into acute malnutrition treatment services.
• Where fresh animal milk is used by a population, collaborate with animal welfare to facilitate access
to safe animal milk supplies and with WASH/FSL providers regarding hygienic milk product processing
and storage. Ensure initiatives act to protect recommended IYCF practices.
• Accompany cash transfer programmes that include mothers in targeting with context-specific IYCF
and maternal nutrition messaging
• Ensure livelihood programmes are child friendly; e.g. providing day care arrangements and feeding
breaks. Include IYCF questions in post-distribution monitoring.
• Consider complementary foods in crop selection of agriculture programmes.

Editor's Notes
Aim
The OG-IFE aims to provide concise, practical guidance on how to ensure appropriate infant and young child feeding in emergencies.
Scope
The OG-IFE applies to emergency preparedness, response and recovery worldwide to minimise infant and young child morbidity and/or mortality risks associated with feeding practices and to maximise child nutrition, health and development.
Target groups
The target groups are infants and young children aged 0-23 months and pregnant and lactating women (PLW).
Intended for: *TAILOR TO YOUR AUDIENCE*
The OG-IFE is intended for policy-makers, decision-makers and programmers working in emergency preparedness and response, including governments, United Nations (UN) agencies, national and international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), donors, volunteer groups and the private/business sector.
The OG-IFE is relevant across sectors and disciplines, particularly nutrition, but also health (including reproductive health, maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH), curative services, mental health and psychosocial support services (MHPSS); HIV; infectious disease management); adolescent services; water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); food security and livelihoods (FSL); child protection; early childhood development (ECD); disability; shelter; cash transfer programmes; social protection; agriculture; and logistics.
The OG-IFE was first developed in 2001 by operational agencies to meet an identified need for a ‘do’s and don’ts’ on infant feeding in emergencies. It is based on existing guidance, expert input and operational experience and has had a number of updates since the first iteration in 2001. The OG-IFE was endorsed in a WHA Resolution (23.23) in 2010. Version 3 has proved the most significant given the 10 year time lag between 2007 and 2017. There has been significant development in guidance, programmatic tools and resources since v2.1 (2007) which was drawn upon for the 2017 version.
Gaps in content and process agreed at IFE Core Group meeting in Jan 2016.
Regional practitioners had been interviewed beforehand on experiences implementing the OF-IFE, complementary feeding in emergencies (summary report available) and artificial feeding in emergencies. Findings were shared at the meeting.
The development of version 3 was a consultative process, involving IFE Core Group members (working groups) and broader community of practitioners and experts across sectors, disciplines (including WASH, reproductive health, HIV) and regions.
The process has also drawn heavily on agency experiences and considerable tools and resources that have developed in the 10 years since 2007
The IFE Core Group meeting in Dec 2017 will consolidate a rollout action plan and roles and responsibilities in 2018 and beyond
OFDA funding ends in December 2017
The process has been closely connected to the Sphere update process
There have been no major changes to previous guidance – mostly addition / expansion
The decision was taken to keep IFE (rather than IYCF-E) as an acronym for consistency with previous editions and to avoid implying a change where there is none. Note that IFE and IYCF-E mean the same.
The English version is available as of September 2017. Arabic and French versions will be available by December 2017. The previous version was available in 12 languages; this will be a key target area to address in 2018.
Updated to reflect latest guidance, including WHO 2016 guidance on HIV and infant feeding and WHO 2017 Guidance on Ending the Inappropriate Promotion of Foods for Infants and Young Children. Note that it also reflects discussions held on HIV and Infant Feeding in Emergencies.
As part of the update process, a WHO/UNICEF/ENN meeting was convened by WHO in Sept 2016 to examine challenges of putting existing WHO HIV and Infant Feeding guidance into practice in emergencies; proceedings from the meeting informed the content of the Ops G. WHO is finalising operational guidance on infant feeding and HIV in emergencies as a key output of the meeting – coming soon.
Greater programmatic detail in all sections
Greater and more balanced content to address of needs of non-breastfed infants in their own right
More comprehensive content on complementary feeding
Considers situations where OG-IFE recommendations cannot be immediately met and how to handle this
More content on emergency preparedness, including summary table of key actions. KEY POINT: Emergency preparedness is critical to a timely, efficient and appropriate IFE response.
The 14 summary key points have all been revised to reflect the updated content.
Greater emphasis on the lead role of government in emergency preparedness and response
Greater clarity on the respective roles and responsibilities of UN agencies
Greater coverage of sectors beyond nutrition and more explicit actions to take
Incorporated accountability to affected populations
Reflects significantly evolved operational environment e.g. cluster approach well established, much more attention to IFE
As reflected in the extensive references / resources section, there has been significant development in guidance, programmatic tools and resources since v2.1 (2007). 200 resources are listed – key references are available in print; the full list is available online. Throughout the Ops Guidance, reference is made to the resources listed at the end.
*CHECK UNDERSTANDING FOR NEW TERMINOLOGY AND EXPLAIN / REFER TO DEFINITIONS IF NECESSARY*
Under infants who are not breastfed, we deal with relactation, wet nursing, donor human milk, BMS
Key sectors and disciplines to sensitise and work with on IYCF include health (reproductive health; MNCH; MHPSS; HIV; infectious disease management); adolescent services; WASH; FSL; child protection; ECD; disability; shelter; cash transfer programmes; social protection; agriculture; and logistics. Examples of integrated activities are provided.
Preparedness has been integrated throughout the OG-IFE.
Provision of multiple-micronutrient fortified foods to children aged 6-23 months and PLW through blanket supplementary feeding. Examples include fortified blended foods such as SuperCereal plus and SuperCereal (or local variations of this type of fortified porridge), and lipid-based nutrient supplements (small to medium quantity) (see 9).
Home fortification with micronutrient supplements, such as micronutrient powders (MNPs) or other supplements. Note that MNPs should not be provided where there is blanket distribution of multiple-micronutrient fortified foods (see 5.29).
5.25 Where animal milk is a significant feature of child diets, such as in pastoral communities, it is important to establish how to safely include milk products as part of a complementary diet. Milk products can be used to prepare complementary foods for all children over six months of age. Recommend to breastfeeding mothers not to displace or substitute breastmilk with animal milk. Pasteurised or boiled animal milk may be provided to non-breastfed children over six months of age and to breastfeeding mothers to drink in controlled environments (such as where milk is provided and consumed on site (wet feeding)). Animal milk should not be distributed outside of such controlled environments (see 5.15 and 6.25).
Training: Target especially nutrition, health, adolescent services, WASH, FSL, CP, ECD, disability, cash transfer, social protection, agriculture and logistics staff.
Sensitisation: relevant personnel across sectors to support IFE, including those dealing directly with affected women and children; those in decision-making positions; those whose operations affect IYCF; those handling any donations; and those mobilising resources for the response. Target groups for sensitisation include sector/cluster leads, donors, rapid-response personnel, government staff, camp managers, communications teams, logisticians and volunteers, among others.
Note that this should not be limited to induction for nutrition staff but also technical staff working in other sectors as well as support services (finance, admin logistics etc.) and senior management.
