A working paper in the GAIN Infant and Young Child Nutrition (IYCN) series, entitled "Strengthening the enabling environment for scaling up access to good quality complementary foods," discusses lessons learned about infant nutrition guidelines and product standards. To strengthen the enabling environment, GAIN has focused on building consensus on IYCF practices based on evidence and research. To sustain these efforts, we must develop a shared understanding of the nutritional needs of young children and use this understanding to inform our policies and programs.
