Global Nutrition Targets 2025

Breastfeeding Policy Brief

This policy brief introduces health system, community and policy level interventions needed to reach the target of 50% breastfeeding exclusivity for the first six months of life. Recognizing that accelerated global action is needed to address the pervasive and corrosive problem of the double burden of malnutrition, in 2012 the World Health Assembly Resolution 65.6 endorsed a Comprehensive implementation plan on maternal, infant and young child nutrition, which specified a set of six global nutrition targets for 2025.
