[[IAA JSR 10(1)49-60, 2023.Awareness and Practice of Breast Feeding among Mot...PUBLISHERJOURNAL
Breastfeeding is a key tool for nourishing a baby, preventing childhood illnesses like obesity, and hypertension later on in life. In addition, it reduces the cost to the family and the entire country. Uganda to some extent faces a great deal of challenges, particularly in the health sector. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of exclusive breastfeeding in mothers with infants between 1 day to 2 years of age attending the immunization and the pediatric inpatient in Kiryandongo Hospital and to identify factors that affect exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). A cross-section descriptive survey design was used. 187 respondents were selected randomly. The data were collected using a questionnaire and the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency and percentages. The result of this study showed that 71.2 % knew the correct definition and duration of exclusive breastfeeding, 59.7% exclusively breastfeeds for the first six (6) months of life, 100% gave colostrum to their babies because they believed it provides nutrition and protection to their babies, 87% breastfed on demand. The result also showed that there is a positive attitude of mothers toward exclusive breastfeeding as 86.6% of them agreed that breast milk alone is sufficient to the baby during the first six (6) months of life as well as believed that EBF has benefits to both the infants and the mother. 51% of respondents weaned their babies between 15-18 months and 41% weaned between 19 months to 2 years. It was concluded that there was a high level of knowledge on breastfeeding among the respondents, more than half of the respondents practiced exclusive breastfeeding as recommended and relatively all the respondents had positive attitude toward exclusive breastfeeding.

A project proposal for East Timor on improving health and nutrition for women...Kazuko Yoshizawa
The presentation outlines a project proposal aimed at capacity building in health and nutrition for Timor-Leste, developed through extensive consultation with the Ministry of Health, development partners, NGOs, and civil society. The primary objective of the project is to enhance the nutritional status of women and children who are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition. The project proposal comprises four key areas that address the capacity gaps identified through stakeholder consultations and documented in published reports and strategies. By providing additional support and interventions, as well as strengthening existing structures, the proposed interventions would help to improve the nutrition status of children and women. The proposal further suggests that the capacity of Integrated Community Health Services (Sisca) could be enhanced to improve rural health services. Such improvements would help to address the existing disparities in health outcomes between rural and urban areas in Timor-Leste. Through the proposed interventions, the project aims to support the overall development of the health and nutrition sector in Timor-Leste. By addressing the identified capacity gaps, the project would help to build sustainable systems that can deliver effective health and nutrition services to the population.
In conclusion, the presentation explains a comprehensive project proposal that aims to improve the nutritional status of vulnerable women and children in Timor-Leste. The proposal is based on extensive consultation with stakeholders and would address capacity gaps identified through published reports and strategies. Through this project, it would be possible to enhance rural health services by strengthening the capacity of Integrated Community Health Services (Sisca) and supporting existing structures. Ultimately, the proposed interventions would contribute to the development of sustainable health and nutrition systems in Timor-Leste.
To evaluate traditional neonatal beliefs and care practices among urban and rural residents and assessing predictors of early initiation of breastfeeding, a cross-sectional study was conducted in two districts, Lahore and Rawalpindi of Pakistan. A total of 218 mothers having infants (< 2 years of age) were interviewed through collecting information through a questionnaire. In the logistic regression analysis, presence of professional birth attendant (P-value = 0.012, OR = 3.909), sterilization of feeding bottle (P-value = 0.013, OR = 3.280) and knowledge about reason of vaccination (P-value = 0.010, OR = 2.058) we re significantly associated with urbanization. Maternal education was significantly associated with correct timing to start weaning practice, breast milk was sufficient for infant, hand washing practice before breastfeeding, good cord care, vaccination status, reason of vaccination and knowledge about Jaundice in neonatal period (P <0.05). The results of multivariate ordinal regression showed that young literate mothers ((P < 0.001; OR = 3.192) started breastfeeding earlier than the elder and illiterate mothers. Furthermore, the women with normal delivery (P < 0.01; OR = 0.301) and low socioeconomic class (P < 0.10; OR = 0.339) started breastfeeding earlier. Among 218 mothers 44.5%, newborns were bathed immediately. A significant proportion of mothers 77.1% reported giving prelacteals as fi rst feed. Majority of mothers 30.7% apply oil on umbilical cord. also, 72.5% mothers administered gripe water to their infants. Traditional risky newborn care practices stress the need for promoting health education programs on improving newborn care practices.

Urban proximity, demand for land and land prices in malawi (1)IFPRIMaSSP
African cities are growing rapidly This growth can be attributed to the increase in population from natural births within cities and migration of people from rural areas in search of better job opportunities. The increase in urban population has led to an expansion of urban boundaries into peri-urban and rural areas, And the associated increase in demand for land previously not classified as urban has sped up the development of land markets in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) cities. It is in the context of this trend that a spike in global energy and food prices in 2007 and 2008 led to a sharp – albeit temporary – increase in demand by international investors for rural agricultural land in Africa and beyond, stoking fears of a “land grab.”

Impact of Food Security Interventions and Nutrition Education on Child Dietary Diversity
1. Impact of Food Security Interventions
& Nutrition Education on Child Dietary
Diversity
Results from 3 Cross-sectional Surveys
The IMCF Team
at the 2nd ECAMA Symposium
Malawi Institute of Management
Lilongwe
04 June 2015
3. Background – as of 2011
Inappropriate feeding practices during the complementary feeding
period contribute to inadequate nutrient intake among infants &
young children
Even when food resources are available in the home, caregivers are
not able to make the best use of them:
Inadequate knowledge
Unhealthy beliefs & practices
Inappropriate advice
Need for interventions to improve quality of complementary foods by
promoting consumption of a variety of foods, including local foods
Lack of evidence! 3
4. IFSN Project
To improve food security & nutrition:
• Support to joint nutrition education between Agriculture and Health
for increased impact of knowledge and skills on: production,
processing, storage and utilization including improved
complementary feeding practices
• Distribution of a range of agricultural inputs to vulnerable
households including those with young children and pregnant
women
• Increased diversification of local production to include different
livestock and nutritious food crops covering the six food groups
5. Key Activities
5
Promote diversified agriculture to improve availability,
access and utilization of all six food groups
Capacity building of farmers, lead farmers, frontline staff
Promote income generating activities: fruit trees, apiary,
mushrooms, vegetables, cassava, Irish potatoes, orange-
fleshed sweet potatoes
Promotion of environment, soil & water conservation
Improve water & sanitation
Promotion of small scale irrigation-gravity fed, treadle
pumps, residual moisture
6. Objectives of the Research Project …
… was to test the following hypotheses:
1. TIPs formative research generates behaviour
change communication messages & nutritionally
improved recipes that lead to lasting improvements in
complementary feeding practices, dietary intakes &
child nutritional status
2. Locally available & affordable foods can provide a
significant contribution to the nutritional requirements of
children 6-23 months
6
7. 3. Nutrition education with focus on IYCF & linked with
a food security intervention can improve child
feeding practices & nutritional status, &
4. Using locally available foods for improving
complementary feeding practices & children’s nutrition
status is a sustainable strategy, which can be
replicated by households at low cost & taken to scale
using available Government services.

Editor's Notes
Cluster = Section
2 stage sampeling: 1. village, then participants
Research study area = area wich was targeted by IFSN in the first year of project intervention (Round 1)
Assuming that changes in dietary diversity could already be observed after a relatively short intervention period, sample size was calculated on CDDS rather than on HAZ
Midterm and Impact: Selected participants were households with children under two regardless wether they were direct beneficiaries of any IFSN intervention
throughout all surveys, majority of enrolled hh were farming hh
Access to improved water as well as improved sanitation facilities increased over time
Household food security was measured at midterm and impact survey based on FAO Household foodinsecurity access scale and showed that food security improved between 2013 and 2014 and food security was higher in the intervention area
The difference in wealth-status between the goups was significant at baseline.
Education improved over time, reaching higher mean years of schooling
The following WHO IYCF indicators were assessed at baseline, mid-term and impact:
Breastfeeding status, MDD based on 7 food group score, MMF and MAD
During the last 3 years, breastfeeding remaind high with close to 100% of the enrolled children being breastfed
DD increased within the intervention area from 63-71%
DD did not improve in the control area
Meal frequency remaind stable
Therefor, the combined indicator minimum acceptable diet improved in the interevention area only.
These obeservations we followed up in a DiD model comparing Baseline and Impact Survey data.
We used a difference-in-differences (DiD) analysis was used to identify changes in outcomes associated with the spread of the programme across the intervention area.
The DID design is based on comparing two different groups.
CDDS based on 7 food group score improved in the intervention area. Reaching an estimated mean of 4 at Impact while CDDS decreased in the control group. Resulting in a significant Intervention Effect
Important changes in dietary diversity were observed in the consumption of ASF and legumes, both food groups being promoted in the NE.
Y-axis: shows prevalence of children consuming ASF and legumes
X-axis: shows the three surveys, stratified by intervention and control
In the intervention group, there is an increase of ASF-consumption to over 50% B – M, which remains stable at this level in Impact survey
Control: ASF decresd to Midterm and reached baseline level at Impact
Intervention: consumption of legumes increased to around 80% B – M and remained stable at that level in Impact
Control: Legume consumption slowly increased, but did not meet the consumption levels of the intervention group.
In conclusion: gelber Kasten
Again we followed up these observations using DiD models comparing Baseline and Impact Survey data. At Baseline estimated prevalence of ASF consumption was 45% in both groups. To Impact, the control dropped to 39% while the intervention group improved to 52%, which is a significant intervention effect of 13%.
This effect can mostly be attributed to increased consumption of eggs rather than changes in the consumption of flesh foods or dairy.
Regarding the consumption of legumes the DiD model shows an improvement in both groups from BL to IS, with a relatively small intervention effect which is not significant.
Mean hight for age z-scores of children 6-23months of age were not different in intervention and control at baseline
Negative-Axis: meanining the longer the colum, the more children are stunted
At mid term we observed changes in mean HAZ: it decreased in the control and increased in the intervention group. At impact mean HAZ had slighty increased in the control and decresed in the intervention area.
Based on a DID analysis: we observed significant differences.....
