May 25, 2021 | Introducing innovative IYCF tools for health and nutrition workers
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global emergency affecting almost every country in the world with millions of cases and deaths. Research findings show that there have been disruptions and reductions in key maternal and child health services in many countries due to COVID-19.
Funded by USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, Save the Children and partners have developed new tools focused on innovative solutions to support health and nutrition workers providing lifesaving services and support to caregivers during a time requiring social distancing, reduced contact, and other service adaptations.
In this one hour webinar, the following innovations were presented:
- An interactive digital platform providing access to the most up-to-date and relevant resources in Infant and Young Child Nutrition in Emergencies
- A set of micro-learning videos for frontline staff; and
- A set of globally-endorsed guidelines on the provision of e-Counseling, the facilitation of group support, and home visits during COVID-19.
Practitioners from Save the Children and partners shared their experiences and challenges protecting and supporting caregivers and their children during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their insights on these innovative and game-changing tools.
Participants shared their thoughts, questions, and considerations around the new tools.
This webinar featured representatives from:
- Save the Children’s global technical team
- Infant Feeding in Emergency (IFE) Core Group
- Frontline health and nutrition practitioners from Save the Children country programs
