Goal action plan
CARE will support women in practicing exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) by improving mothers' understanding, knowledge, and adoption of EBF, while also working with fathers and other influential household/community members to ensure their support for breastfeeding mothers. To do so, CARE will mobilize "transformative group" platforms to increase the number of mothers receiving nutrition education, creating a social environment supporting change, and allowing peers to share experiences and best practices for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and complementary feeding. These groups included mothers' support groups, male support groups, adolescent girls' groups, and VSLAs.
