Complementary Feeding in Emergencies Programming in Myanmar

The complementary feeding (CF) period between 6 and 23 months of age, when other foods and liquids are introduced in addition to breast milk, is a short and critical window for child survival, well-being, and development. Using the UNICEF Action Framework as an organizing tool, the case study in this report documents complementary feeding actions and interventions across the humanitarian-development nexus in Myanmar between 2017 and 2022. The lessons learned from this case study should provide considerations for both country-level practitioners and global-level decision-makers, in terms of examples of complementary feeding programming in emergencies (CFE) and how to support these programs.
