1. Executive Summary

Kohat district is located 180km from Islamabad and 65km from Peshawar (the provincial

capital). ACF International supports the Department of Health (DoH) in Community

Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) in 5 Union Councils (UCs) with funds from the

Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department of the European Commission (ECHO).

This one year ECHO project integrates food security and livelihoods (FSL), Infant and

young child feeding (IYCF) and nutrition education as well as Water, Sanitation and

Hygiene (WASH) activities.

This baseline study had one primary objective which was to understand the communities

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) on IYCF in five UCs in Kohat district where ACF

is implementing its IYCF project integrated to CMAM. The results underscore that most of

the infant and young child feeding practices are below the national average1. The

following are the findings of this survey:

Information communities obtained about child feeding originated from the same

sources and showed a similar trend of utilization. Health facility and home visit are

the most common places where mothers/care takers get information about child

feeding. However, community sensitization event is not common in the study area to

pass information about child feeding.

More than half (58.2%, n=107) of mothers/caretakers believe that breast feeding

should be started immediately after the child is born. More than thirteen percent

(13.6%, n=24) of them think it should be started at after one day.

Nearly half of the mothers/caretakers (45.7%) know that a child should be exclusively

breast fed for the first six months of his/her life.

Only less than half of the mothers (47.3%) know the appropriate age of initiating

complementary food (which is 6 months).

The most common contact persons for child feeding information in the surveyed

community are Nurses/Dispensers and family/friends.

Proportion of children 0 to 23 months who were put to the breast within one hour of

birth was 39.4%.

Proportion of infants aged 0-5 months who are exclusively breastfed was 65.9%.

Only 27% of children are breast fed for at least two year.

Complementary foods are introduced in a timely fashion for three-fourth (69.7%) of children. This indicates children aged 6 to 9 months are given complementary feeding as per WHO recommendation.

1NNS Pakistan, 2011


Page 6

Overall, nearly one in five (18.15%) children age 6-23 months are fed appropriately, based on the recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.

Proportion of children aged 0-23 months who receive iron-rich food or iron-fortified food (specially designed for infants and young children, or that is fortified in the home) is low. Only 25% of children under the age of two years had received iron rich food.

Overforty(44.6%) percent of mother fed their children using bottle feeding.

2. Background

The 24 districts making up the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province are: Chitral, Upper Dir,

Lower Dir, Swat, Kohistan, Shangla, Batagram, Buner, Manshera, Malakand, Maradan,

Swabi, Haripur, Abottabad, Charasadda, Peshawar, Nowshera, Kohat, Hangu, Karak,

Bannu, LakkiMarawat, Tank, and DI Khan.

Kohat district is located 180km from Islamabad and 65km from Peshawar (the provincial

capital). It is sub-divided into 33 Union Councils (UCs). It is bordered by Peshawar district

in the north, Hangu and Kurak in the south, Nowshera in the east, and Oarkzai Agency in

the west (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Map of Kohat District and ACF nutrition program implementation union council,

August 2013

Kohat is the 14th most highly populated district of KP. It has a total population of

1,043,850 and under five population of 177,455 (17%)2. Military operation in Bajur district

and insurgency activity throughout 2011 caused a significant number of displaced to Kohat

District. The majority of Internally Displaced People (IDP) stay with host communities,

stretching the capacity of households who employ distress mechanisms to overcome the

additional strain. During 2012 Kohat has received part of the newly displaced population

from Khyber Agency, thus the pressure on traditional livelihoods in combination with

structural vulnerabilities has had the effect of reducing the overall quality of life and

resilience for the region. Kohat has very little Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

infrastructure/services. Based on the Internally Vulnerability Assessment and Profiling

(IVAP) Report in July 2011, Kohat hosts the third largest population of IDPs in KP, with

almost 18,111 families and the second largest population of unregistered IDPs3.

ACF International supports the Department of Health (DoH) in Community Management of

Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) in 5 UCs with funds from the Humanitarian Aid and Civil

Protection department of the European Commission (ECHO). This one year ECHO project

integrates food security and livelihoods (FSL), Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and

nutrition education as well as Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) activities.

The proposed strategy for nutrition is designed to ensure the provision of lifesaving

nutrition services for acutely malnourished children, pregnant and lactating women in

camps and off-camps; to prevent poor nutritional outcome through rigorous promotion of

optimal infant feeding practices, proper hygiene/sanitation and improved maternal

nutrition; micronutrient supplementation and nutrition education on locally available

foods; setting up of a robust reporting and information system and monitoring mechanism;

and an emphasis on capacity development of health care providers for all target areas to

be implemented in partnership with the DoH and provincial nutrition cells in KP & FATA.

In the back drop of this and as a follow-up of the efforts that is going to be implemented

in Kohat district, there was a need to establish baseline information through an

assessment of knowledge, attitude and practices of the community with regards to infant

and young child feeding practices.

3. Survey Objectives

3.1 General objective

The main objective of this survey was to determine knowledge, attitude, and practice of

infant and young child feeding practices of population of Kohat district of KP province so

as to establish a bench mark for the program implementation.

3.2 Specific Objectives

To obtain quantitative data on infant and young child feeding practices using the WHO4 IYCF indicators.

To assess the consumption of the different types of food for children aged from 6-23 months with in the 24 hours prior to the survey, and hence estimate the food diversity within the last 24hours.

To assess the factors related to IYCF practices.

To make recommendations based on findings.

4. Methodology

4.1 Study area The survey was conducted in 5 UCS of Kohat District (urban 4, urban 6, Jerma, Bilitang,

and KahrimattoUCs) where ACF is implementing IYCF Project (Indicated in figure 1).

4.2 Study period The study was conducted from September 5 –10, 2013.

4.3 Study design The survey was a cross sectional study with two-stage cluster sampling using 'WHO model

for vaccination survey'. Villages are considered as the smallest geographical unit

(clusters).

Focus Group discussions (FGD) were conducted in every selected village with pregnant and lactating women and mothers who hadunder two years of age children.

4.4 Study population 1. Mothers of children under two years of age: To estimate the infant and young child

feeding practice relevant information was gathered from mothers of children who are

under two years of age in all selected villages.

2. Households: Household food security and WASH information was collected from

selected households in all selected villages.

4.5 Sample size The sample size was derived using the formula:

⌈ ( )

Page 10

The sample size was estimated at 192 households and rounded up to 210 including a 10%

non-response rate. This came down to 30 clusters of 7 people each (World Health

Organization (WHO) model5 used for vaccination surveys).

4.6 Sampling procedures

4.6.1 Cluster selection: Each village in the District was considered as a cluster and the clusters to be sampled

wereselected with probability proportionate to size (PPS). All villages of the district along

with their respective populations wereentered into ENA software; the software

automatically selected the number of clusters to be included in the study.

4.6.2 Household selection: Sample households wereselected using simple random sampling. This household selection

method was preferred because it is objective, easy for monitoring and makes the process

more transparent to the local community. Preliminary contact with local village leaders

was made to prepare household lists in each village. Enumerators used random number

table to select the households from the sampling frame (household list).

4.6.3 Children selection: Within selected households, all children under the age of two years was included in the

survey.

4.6.4 Data to be collected The survey collected information regarding IYCF knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of

mother of children under two year of age.

4.6.5 Survey Tool Age of children was assessed using local events calendar prepared with the local

community. The data collection formats were adapted from WHO 2010 guideline for the

assessment of infant and young child feeding6. All the survey tools were translated to the

local language, pretested and improved to strengthen the data collection.

5. Organization of the survey

5.1 Meeting with the Province and District authorities

Before the survey was conducted relevant Provincial and District sector offices were

briefed about the background, purpose, objectives and methods for the survey and their

cooperation secured. The authorities were requested to officially inform the communities

(villages) where the assessment took place. Relevant sectors were invited to supervise the

training and data collection and recruit additional data collectors needed.

5.2 Data collectors recruitment and training Five teams of three people each (two female and one male), one team leader and two

data collectors collected the data.

Page 11

Prior to the data collection, two days training was given for the enumerators and team

leaders on data collection procedures, interviewing and assessment of child age. The data

collection forms and questionnaires were pilot tested in villages not selected to be part of

the larger survey, to ensure that the interviewers and respondents understand the

questions and that interviewers follow correct protocols.

5.3 Team work in the field Team leaders with the best service and experience, wereguiding the teams. The team

leaders were responsible for the overall quality of activities and teams performance.

Additionally, supervisors from ACF, representatives from DHO and representatives from

Provincial health department and a survey manager from ACF were closely supervising the

teams throughout the survey.

5.4 Data Quality Each questionnaire and data sheet were checked each night prior to the data entry. The

data was entered on daily basis and missing data identified. Based on the results

supervisors were giving feedback to enumerators every day before enumerators depart to

the next day data collection.

5.5 Ethical considerations

All relevant Provincial and District stakeholders were informed of the study objectives,

methods and their roles and their permission sought. Verbal consent was sought from care

takers of the children and household heads for voluntary participation in the survey. The

identity of the participants was kept anonymous. Those who didnot wish to participate in

the survey were respected for their self-determination / decisions. All the information

collected wastreated as strictly confidential.

5.6 Data entry, analysis, reporting

Data entry and analysis was done using Epi info 3.5.4 (June 2012 version).

6. Result

6.1 Demographic characteristics of sampled children

Two hundred fourteen (214) households where assessed, of these households, one eighty

five (185) children under 2 were included in the study: 93 (50.3%) girls and 92 (49.7%) boys

(Table 2). The average age of the children was 11.4 months. The ratio of children 0-11

months to children 12-23 months was 0.99.

6.3 Infant and young child feeding knowledge and attitude

a. Early initiation of breast feeding (EIBF) More than half (58.2%, n=107) of mothers/caretakers believe that breast feeding should be

started immediately after the child is born. More than thirteen percent (13.6%, n=24) of

them think it should be started at after one day. Two thirds (69.6%, n=128) of mothers

reported that they have heard a message about early initiation of breast feeding, the most

common source of information are dispensers/nurses (47.7%, n=61) and family and/or

friends (35.9%, n=46). Lady health volunteers, community leaders and TV/Radio are

uncommon sources of information for initiation of breast feeding.

September, 2013

Time of pregnancy and delivery are very common contact timesto pass information to

mothers/caretakers about early initiation of breast feeding, in 67.2% and 24.2% of

mothers/caretakers respectively (Figure 2). Home visits and health facility visit were

found to be very good channels of information with 57.8% of mothers receiving breast

feeding messages during health facility visit and 40.6% during home visit.

b. Exclusive breast feeding (EBF) Nearly half of the mothers/caretakers (45.7%) know that a child should be exclusively

breast fed for the first six months of his/her life. Only 51.1% of mothers have heard a

message about appropriate exclusive breast feeding; of those who have heard the message

57.4% of them heard it from dispensers/nurses and 31.9% from friends/family.

The most common contact point for EBF message was found to be during pregnancy (in

72.8% of the mothers/caretakers).

c. Timely initiation of complementary feeding (TICF) In the surveyed community, even though sixty percent (60%) of mothers had received

message about complementary feeding, only less than half of the mothers (47.3%) know

the appropriate age of initiating complementary food (which is 6 months). Similar to

messages about EIBF and EBF, the most common source of TICF information was

dispenser/nurse (53.6%) and friends/family (31.8%).

Information about child feeding originated from the same sources and showed a similar

trend of utilization (Figure 3).

Figure 1: Source/place of child feeding information, Kohat District, September, 2013

6.4 Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices

1. Initiation of breastfeeding within one hour of birth Fifty nine percent (59%) of the interviewed women reported starting breastfeeding within

three hours of giving birth (Figure 4). Overall, two thirds of mothers reported starting

breastfeeding withinthe first 12 hours of the birth of the child. Thirty nine percent of the

children born in the last two years were breastfed within one hour of being born.

2. Exclusive breastfeeding

It is recommended that children should be exclusively fed breast milk during the first six

months, as it provides all the necessary nutrients for the infants’ growth and protects the

child from illness. From the sampled communities, 65.9% (n=29) of mothers of children

aged 0-5 months reported that the children were exclusively breastfed during the 24 hours

preceding the study.

Breast milk in the first three days of birth, colostrum, contains antibodies and nutrients

required to support the new born during this period. In the surveyed community one out of

five mothers (n=35) disposed of the colostrum.

3. Minimum dietary diversity Among children aged 6-23 months (N=141), 21.3% (n=30) consumed foods from four or

more food groups during the day prior to the study (Figure 5).

4. Minimum meal frequency

The WHO recommends that breastfed children consume solid, semi-solid or soft foods at

least twice a day between the ages of 6-8 months and at least 3 times a day between the

ages of 9-23 months8. In Kohat District, 68.1% (n=96) of children aged 6-23 months met

this requirement.

5. Minimum acceptable diet Children 6-23 months are getting an acceptable diet when they are breastfed or are given

milk, have the appropriate food diversity score and have the minimum required number of

meals per day. In the studied population, although meal frequency was moderate9, the

number of food groups consumed was not (less than four). As a result, only 18.4% of

children aged 6-23 months were consuming the minimum acceptable diet.

6. Consumption of Iron-rich foods Iron-rich foods included flesh foods (meat and organ) and fish. Around 25% of children

aged 6-23 months consumed flesh/fish foods the day preceding the study.

7. Consumption of Vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient for the immune system. Severe vitamin A

deficiency can cause eye damage, increase the severity of infections such as measles and

pneumonia in children and slows recovery. Vitamin A is found in breast milk, liver, egg,

mango, papaya, carrot and dark green vegetables. In the surveyed community only half

(50%)of children aged 6–23 months, had consumed vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables the

day preceding the study.

8. Children ever breast fed, continuation of breastfeeding at one and two years old

Almost all children had been breastfed at some point (95.1%). However, only one third

(28%) of surveyed children were breast feeding at the time of the survey. Of those

mothers who are not currently breast feeding (28%, n=49) their main reason for not breast

feeding their child was breast not having enough milk (32.7) and being pregnant

(40.8%)(Figure 7).

Figure 7: Reasons for cessation of breast feeding before child reaches age of 23 months,

Kohat district, September, 2013

Two-thirds(73.3%, n=11) of children aged 12-15 months werestill breastfed at the time of

the survey. However, only (26.9% n=7) of children 20-23 month were still being breastfed

at the time of the study.

9. Timely introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods and complementary food The two indicators denote the same features but they refer to different age groups: 6-8

months and 6-9 months respectively. Breast milk can adequately fulfil the needs of a

newborn up to 6 months. But after six months they need additional food supplement. In

the surveyed community, however, nearly one-third of the children were not started with

complementary food at 6 – 9 months old. Appropriate introduction of solid, semisolid or

soft foods was 69.2%, and complementary food was 69.7%.

10. Bottle feeding Feeding young children using a bottle is common in the survey community. Nearly half of

children (44.6%) 0-23 months receive food from a bottle.

6.5 Food Security and livelihood

Among the 206 households (HHs) include in this survey, 91.3% of the households are

residents of the district where as the remaining are IDPs (8.7%). Nearly half of the IDP

(44.4%) have been displaced since 2008 to 2009. Among the 206 surveyed HHs 96.6% of

them are male headed households.

Majority of the respondents (81.1%, n=167 households) replied they have no food in the

store when asked about food sources for the coming three months. Nearly two third

(68.1%, n=114 households) of them are planning to buy their food for the next three

months’ consumption (Figure 9).

Figure 8: Expected source of food for the coming three months, Kohat district,

September 2013

The most common income generating activity in the surveyed villages are agriculture

(34.5%, n=10 villages) and daily labour (34.5%, n=10).

Nearly half of the surveyed communities reported that physical condition of their livestock

was poor (48.0%) or very poor (4.0%) at the time of the survey. The common reasons for

the poor or very poor livestock physical condition was lack of grazing areas, and lack of

veterinary services (Figure 10).

Figure 9: Reason for poor livestock physical condition, Kohat district, September, 2013

More than ninety percent (90%) of the surveyed community have cultivated at least 50% of

the land in the last cultivation season. However, only 30.4% of them cultivated 100% of

their land.

Only one village out of thirty (1/30) has received any agricultural support from National

Rural Support Program (NRSP). The support that the one community received was

restocking of livestock.

6.6 Water and Sanitation

Focus group discussion in all surveyed villages showed that 62.0% communities use water

from "relatively improved sources"10, i.e., protected spring and well (31%) and piped water

(31%). The remaining communities used water from "unsafe sources"11 like surface water,

river, unprotected spring and well.

From the household interview (N=206), 91.3% of the community do nothing12 with water

before drinking (they don't boil, filter or treat with chemicals).

Ninety seven percent (97%) of communities access water source within 30 minute walk,

and three percent (3%) of communities between 30 minutes and one hour walk.

Thirty eight percent (38%) of surveyed communities experienced shortage of drinking

water during the three months preceding the survey. The common reasons given for the

shortage of water was source become dirty (27.3%) and source was broken (27.3%).

The hand washing practice of the community as assessed by the household survey is

"poor"13. Only 14.1% (n=29 household members) practice hand washing before eating food,

10 Relatively improved source, which does not necessarily mean the water is tested or treated. 11 Unsafe source indicates a relatively unsafeness than the content of the water in these sources 12No treatment is done before drinking the water fetched from all sources. 13Many of them not practicing in at least five important occasions.

Total 206 100%

With regards to child faeces, only fifty nine of the households(28.6%) practice appropriate

disposal. The remaining households either throw it out with other rubbish/trash or scatter

it around their compound.

6.7 Health

During the three months before the survey 34.5% communities (n=10 villages) reported

occurrence of disease outbreaks in their villages, mainly from other reasons (5/10)14,

followed bydiarrhoea (2/10), measles (2/10) and malaria (1/10).

In most of the villages (79.3%, n=23 villages),the last vaccination campaign conducted was

in the month of August, 2013 and the vaccination given to the children was Oral Polio

Vaccine (OPV).

In the same period there was no report of unusual outmigration from all surveyed villages.

7. Discussion

The IYCF practices in the surveyed community when compared with the national average

and regional average15 is relatively poor with regards to breast feeding and better with

regards to complimentary feeding practices.Indeed, early initiation of breast feeding is

39.4% in the surveyed communitywhereas the provincial average for KP is 74.3%. During a

discussion with mothers of children under the age of two, most mothers mentioned the

first food that is given to children is ether honey, "Ghurti" (herbal drink), green tea or

sugar water. This could be one of the reasons which delay early initiation of breast

feeding.

143 villages unknown cases and 2 village common cold 15 National nutrition survey of Pakistan, 2011


Page 21

Nearly two thirds of mothers exclusively breastfed their child up to the age of six months.

The main reasons given by mothers who do not exclusively breastfeed their child up to the

age of six months is insufficient breast milk, mothers’ illness (particularly breast/nipple

problem) and the mother being pregnant. Mothers stop breast feeding when they get

pregnant as there is a common belief that breast feeding a child while pregnant will make

the mother and the unborn child weak.

Continued breast feeding up to the age of two years is poor compared to the provincial

average. The main reason a mother will stop breast feeding before the child is two years is

if she became pregnant.

Nearly seventy percent (70%) of mothers initiate complementary feeding at the age of six

months. This is encouraging compared to the national and regional average which is 51.3%

and 35.3% respectively. For some of those who are not starting complementary feeding on

time their main reason is fear of indigestion that might be caused by the food. Other

mothers reported that the child refuses to take any food other than breast milk.

A mother mentioned:

"I wanted to start complementary feeding at the age of six months but I didn't know what

to feed him with. There is no elder in the house who can give me advice on this".

Duringa discussion about the source of information about child feeding, most of the

mothers mentioned the main sources of information are from doctors during delivery,

from grandmothers and TV/radios. This is a little bit contradiction with the findings of the

household interview, where mothers mentioned that the main source of information is

from dispenser/nurses and family/friends. However, to get information from the doctor a

mother should travel a long distance which is not culturally acceptable.

A mother mentioned that:

"The best information I got is from the doctor when I gave birth to my child. However I

am not allowed to visit the health facility due to its far distance from my village."

The following are myths on child feeding in the surveyed community:

"Giving banana for a child who is fed on cow milk will cause a chest problem"

"Rice cooked with meat should never be given to a child who is less than two years

of age since it causes abdominal cramp"

"Giving pulses, meat and lady finger to a child will cause gastric problem"

"Giving grape to a child will cause respiratory problem"

"If a child is sick within seven days after being born, don't give beef and chicken to

the mother. It will exacerbate the problem the child has."

It will be important to consider such myths when defining activities on IYCF.

8. Conclusion The base line study had one primary objective which was to understand the communities

KAP on IYCF in five UCs in Kohat district where ACF is implementing its nutrition and IYCF

project. The results underscore that most of the infant and young child feeding practices

are below the national average16. The following are the findings of this survey:

Information about child feeding originated from the same sources and showed a

similar trend of utilization. Health facility and home visit are the most common

places where mothers/care takers get information about child feeding. However,

community sensitization event is not common in the study area to pass information

about child feeding.

More than half (58.2%, n=107) of mothers/caretakers believe that breast feeding

should be started immediately after the child is born. More than thirteen percent

(13.6%, n=24) of them think it should be started at after one day.

Nearly half of the mothers/caretakers (45.7%) know that a child should be exclusively

breast fed for the first six months of his/her life.

Only less than half of the mothers (47.3%) know the appropriate age of initiating

complementary food (which is 6 months).

The most common contact persons for child feeding information in the surveyed

community are Nurses/Dispensers and family/friends.

Proportion of children 0 to 23 months who were put to the breast within one hour of

birth was 39.4%.

Proportion of infants aged 0-5 months who are exclusively breastfed was 65.9%.

Only 27% of children are breast fed for at least two year.

Complementary foods are introduced in a timely fashion for three-fourth (69.7%) of children. This indicates children aged 6 to 9 months are given complementary feeding as per WHO recommendation.

Overall, nearly one in five (18.15%) children age 6-23 months are fed appropriately, based on the recommended IYCF practices.

Proportion of children aged 0-23 months who receive iron-rich food or iron-fortified food (specially designed for infants and young children, or that is fortified in the home) is low. Only 25% of children under the age of two years had received iron rich food.

Around thirty (44.6%) percent of mother fed their children using bottle feeding.

Majority of the respondents (81.1%, n=167 households) replied they have no food in the store when asked about food sources for the coming three months. Nearly two

16NNS Pakistan, 2011


Page 23

third (68.1%, n=114 households) of them are planning to buy their food for the next three months consumption.

Nearly half of the surveyed communities reported that physical condition of their livestock was poor (48.0%) or very poor (4.0%) at the time of the survey. The common reasons for the poor or very poor livestock physical condition was lack of grazing disease, and lack of veterinary service.

Only one village out of thirty (1/30) has received any agricultural support from NRSP. The support that one village received was restocking of livestock.

From the household interview (N=206), 91.3% of the community do nothing with water before drinking (they don't boil, filter or treat with chemicals).

Thirty eight percent (38%) of surveyed communities experienced shortage of drinking water during the three months preceding the survey. The common reasons given for the shortage of water was source become dirty (27.3%) and source was broken (27.3%).

The hand washing practice of the community as assessedby the household survey is "poor". Only one percent of mothers (n=2) practice hand washing before feeding children. 14.1% (n=29 household members) practice hand washing before eating food.

Only only fifty nine of the households (28.6%)of the households practice appropriate child faeces disposal.

During the three months before the survey 34.5% communities (n=10 villages) reported occurrence of disease outbreaks in their villages.

9. Recommendations 9.1 Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF)

Most infant and young child feeding practices and hygienepracticesare below the

national average (early initiation of breast feeding, dietary diversity, minimum

accessible diet, bottle feeding,timely initiation of complementary feeding and hand

washing practices), hence behavioural change communication should be designed to

advocate and address the following issues in the study community:

o Early initiation of breast feeding, initiation of breast feeding within one hours

of giving birth

o Continuation of breast feeding up to the age of two years

o Diversifying dietary diet

o Consumption of iron rich foods, vitamin A rich foods and animal proteins

o to address the myths about child feeding

o Hand washing during five points (before cooking food, before feeding children, before eating food, after going to toilet and after cleaning child's bottom.

Only a few children had consumed animal proteins (25%). An integrated program is

mandatory to improve dietary diversity and consumption of dairy products. Programs


Page 24

which incorporate food vouchers, income generating activities, nutrition should be

implemented and advocated.

The dietary diversity and minimum acceptable diet is very low. Further effort should

be made in the new project to improve the dietary diversity and minimum acceptable

diet by considering livelihood diversification strategies.

Forty five percent (45%) of mothers use bottle feeding in the study area. Attention

should be given to reducing bottle feeding by incorporating and focusing on the

disadvantages of bottle feeding as part of the behavioural change communication

(BCC) strategy.

It is essential to do a further barrier analysis to identify the reasons for the poor

practices (like bottle feeding, inappropriate feeding during pregnancy, etc).

9.2 Food Security and Livelihood (FSL)

The main source of income for the coming three months is either money secured

from salary or remittance. In addition to this, two third of the community are

planning to get their food from the market. This indicates a communities reliance of

food from the market more than its own production. Diversifying the livelihood of

the community is vital to improve the income generating sources which can lead to

resilience.

Nearly half of the surveyed communities reported that physical condition of their

livestock was poor or very poor at the time of the survey. The main reasons being

lack of grazing, lack of veterinary service and livestock disease. Only one village has

received any agriculture related support in the past three months. ACF can intervene

in one or more of the following areas to improve the livestock physical condition

which has a direct or indirect link with alleviating malnutrition.

9.3 Water Sanitation and Hygiene

Efforts should be made to advocate and enhance use of safe water source, piped

water, protected spring/well.

Awareness creation sessions should be done to the general community about WASH,

particularly about appropriate time of hand washing, appropriate disposal of child

faeces, and treatment of water before drinking.

Water sources which are broken and dirty should be repaired and cleaned/treated.

9.4 Health

Appropriate integrated disease surveillance program should bedesigned/strengthened to control the outbreak of epidemics in the community.
