This interactive workshop series brought together implementers to explore nutrition SBC best practices from a new perspective. Participants learned about what nutrition programmers are doing and how to achieve positive complementary feeding results using an evidence-based, behavior-centered approach through storytelling, videos, discussions, and hands-on exercises. We worked together to unpack the complexity of complementary feeding through an SBC approach that aligns sectors and actors to achieve intended outcomes. Participants left the series with a suite of practical tools they can use in their own programming.
This series consisted of three workshops and three informal office hours sessions to maximize engagement and leave space for sharing and problem solving.
