Helping countries improve nutrition outcomes through agriculture and food - w...Francois Stepman
11 December 2017. Brussels. DevCo Infopoint. Countries are seeking to improve nutrition through multiple sectors, including agriculture and food systems. This requires navigating dietary transitions, strengthening country ownership of programmes and investment decisions, working with public and private partners, and better understanding drivers that shape demand. These are key considerations for lesson learning moving forward.

CORE Group Fall Meeting 2010. The Essential Nutrition Actions Framework: More than Just Seven Actions. (Part 3 of 3) - Agnes Guyon, JSI Research and Training & Victoria Quinn, Helen Keller International
Dr. Pamela Mukaire of the Resources for Improving Birth Outcomes at Liberty University discusses a project in rural Uganda to use the FHI 360 Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition approach to improve the health of families.
Malnutrition costs the world trillions of dollars, but global commitment to improving people’s nutrition is on the rise, and so is our knowledge of how to do so. Over the past 50 years, understanding of nutrition has evolved beyond a narrow focus on hunger and famine. We now know that good nutrition depends not only on people’s access to a wide variety of foods, but also on the care they receive and the environment they live in. A number of countries and programs have exploited this new understanding to make enormous strides in nutrition. Nourishing Millions: Stories of Change in Nutrition brings together the most intriguing stories from the past five decades to show what works in nutrition, what does not, and the factors that contribute to success. The stories gathered here examine interventions that address nutrition directly—such as community nutrition programming and feeding programs for infants and young children—as well as nutrition-sensitive policies related to agriculture, social protection, and clean water and sanitation. The authors consider efforts to combat the severest forms of acute malnutrition as well as overweight and obesity. They shed light on nutrition success stories on the ground in places ranging from Bangladesh, Brazil, Nepal, Peru, Thailand, and Vietnam to Ethiopia and the state of Odisha in India. The book also examines how nutrition “champions” emerge and drive change. Altogether, Nourishing Millions is a unique look at past and emerging nutrition successes and challenges around the world.

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council
Dr Natasha Azzopardi Muscat, Director, Country Health Policies and Systems Division, World Health Organisation EURO
Dr Marta Lomazzi, Executive Manager, World Federation of Public Health Associations
Dr Shyam Bishen, Head, Centre for Health and Healthcare and Member of the Executive Committee, World Economic Forum
Dr Karin Tegmark Wisell, Director General, Public Health Agency of Sweden
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
Explore our infographic on 'Essential Metrics for Palliative Care Management' which highlights key performance indicators crucial for enhancing the quality and efficiency of palliative care services.
This visual guide breaks down important metrics across four categories: Patient-Centered Metrics, Care Efficiency Metrics, Quality of Life Metrics, and Staff Metrics. Each section is designed to help healthcare professionals monitor and improve care delivery for patients facing serious illnesses. Understand how to implement these metrics in your palliative care practices for better outcomes and higher satisfaction levels.

3. What is the Baby Friendly Community Initiative?
• Expands on 10th step of the
Baby-Friendly Hospital
Initiative (BFHI) and 10
Steps to Successful
Breastfeeding
• High Impact Nutrition
Intervention (HINI) for
Kenya
Serves as a multisectoral platform:
• Maternal nutrition
• Exclusive breastfeeding and
complementary feeding
• Growth monitoring and
promotion
• Essential hygiene actions
• Developmental milestones
• Kitchen/community gardens
5. How is BFCI implemented at community level?
• Community Mother Support Groups meetings (bi-
monthly)
• Mother to Mother Support Groups meetings
• Monthly household visits
• Referral and linkages between community and facility
• Baby friendly community meetings /dialogues
6. Infant and Young Child
Feeding Indicators through
BFCI
1. Proportion of infants put to the breast within one hour of delivery
2. Proportion of infants exclusively breastfed in the first six months of
life
3. Proportion of children who receive any pre-lacteal feeds within the
first three days of life
4. Proportion of children (6 – 8months) who receive complementary
foods
5. Proportion of children (6 – 11 months) who ate any animal-source,
iron-rich foods
7. Key Gaps in Infant and Young Child Feeding
& the Sick Child in Kenya
• Knowledge gap among mothers on feeding of the sick
child during and after illness (increased, and continued
feeding)
• Inadequate capacity of health workers & community
health volunteers to counsel and support mothers on
feeding of the sick newborn and child
8. Photo courtesy: George Ndagu
How can BFCI, as a platform, address the sick and
vulnerable newborn and child?

9. Lessons learnt- BFCI
• Household screening & referral for acute malnutrition
• Community dialogue to address cultural myths and
misconceptions regarding the sick child
• Counseling on increased & continued feeding of sick
child
• Strengthen facility and community linkages -
Identification and referrals of sick child (i.e. difficult / fast
breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, stops breastfeeding)
