Infant Feeding in Emergencies: Strengthening Baby-Friendly Communities for Resilience and Preparedness

The team working on “Baby Friendly Community & Health Services” (BFC&HS), within the work stream on Healthy Living Environments (WP6) of the JA PreventNCD, invites you to an International Online Workshop “Infant Feeding in Emergencies: Strengthening Baby-Friendly Communities for Resilience and Preparedness” on 19 December 2025, from 12:00 to 14:30 CET.

The session will explore how countries and communities can strengthen preparedness and response for IYCF-E. After an introduction by the task coordinators, greetings from WHO-EURO and PAHO will follow, highlighting the global relevance of IYCF-E and the commitment of international partners.

Speakers from the Italian National Institute of Health (ISS) and the IFE Core Group will then share recent case studies and global experiences. Updates will also be provided on the WHO Policy Brief on IYCF-E, developed in collaboration with the Italian WHO Collaborating Centre on Breastfeeding Promotion and Childhood Obesity Prevention.

Participation is free and open to all.
