LINKAGES Project


Project to support breastfeeding, related complementary feeding and maternal nutrition, and the lactational amenorrhea method.

It works through:

  • Global Technical Leadership: advancing policy dialogue and formulation through assessments and advocacy; assessing program impact; conducting cost-effectiveness studies of different interventions; disseminating technical information on the program art and evidence-based science of breastfeeding and related practices
  • Country Programs: supporting the design and implementation of national-level advocacy, district-level programming, community-based counseling, and support groups to acheive measurable results in behavior change.
  • Mainstreaming: integrating results-oriented behavior change methodology, quality technical information, and supportive policies into organizations' programs and initiatives; partnering with organizations to improve breastfeeding and related practices.
