Explain UNICEF’s conceptual frameworks on the Determinants of Maternal and Child Nutrition
The Government could include political, financial, social, and public, and private sectors to enable children’s and women’s right to nutrition which enables sufficient resources and positive social & cultural norms and action. Next, the underlying determinants which are food, feeding, and environments will be affected. Then domino effect will be done to good diets and good care that finally affect the Maternal and Child nutrition which could improve the survival rate, health, physical growth, cognitive development, school readiness, and school performance in children and adolescents. Which finally could improve prosperity and cohesion in societies
Define Nutrition-specific interventions during Birth, 0-5 months, and 6-23 months
Birth: Initiation of breastfeeding within one hour (colostrum)
0-5 months: Exclusive breastfeeding, need counseling and lay support from the community and facility-based contacts
6-23 months: Continued breastfeeding & Timely, adequate, and appropriate complementary feeding
Define Nutrition-sensitive interventions during Birth, 0-5 months, and 6-23 months
Birth: Kangaroo Care
0-5 months: Maternity protection in the workplace
6-23 months: improved use of locally available foods for infants (improved food access)
