Programme Guidance on Maternal Nutrition
Prevention of malnutrition in women before and during pregnancy and while breastfeeding
About
The guidance is intended to support the implementation of UNICEF’s vision for maternal nutrition programming as outlined in the UNICEF Nutrition Strategy 2020–2030. It aims to provide UNICEF country teams and their partners with guidance to design, implement and monitor evidence-based programmes to improve the nutrition of women across the life course. The guidance supports the role of five systems - food, health, water and sanitation, education, and social protection – in securing nutritious and safe diets, essential nutrition services and positive nutrition practices for women, in all contexts.
We also share a programme brief that describes a set of approaches to strengthen maternal nutrition counselling.
