In 2014, the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the SPRING project embarked on a two-year evaluation of the Community Infant and Young Child Feeding (C-IYCF) Counselling Package when adapted for the local context and implemented at scale in one local government area (LGA) in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The baseline evaluation was completed in 2015. This infographic was developed for the USAID Breastfeeding Symposium, held on August 29, 2017. It summarizes knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) around breastfeeding among mothers, caregivers, community volunteers, and community leaders. It illustrates how knowledge does not always translate into practice and underscores the importance of addressing deeply entrenched beliefs and other barriers to practice.
