Enhancing Complementary Feeding Practices

By 2030, Lebanon will adopt and legislate comprehensive policies that guide national nutrition programs across multiple systems, ensuring access to nutrition services for the prevention of all forms of malnutrition. This includes implementing interventions to improve the availability and affordability of nutritious foods for young children, with a specific focus on monitoring and improving complementary feeding practices. By 2030, the Ministry of Public Health, in collaboration with United Nations organizations and IYCF Committee members, commits to increase the percentage of children aged 6 to 23 months who meet the minimum dietary diversity (MDD) by 20% (from the baseline of 25.8%).
