| Popis: |
These countries include Djibouti, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Somalia and Tunisia. All these countries are also Arab states, and share cross-cutting cultural values by the common language “Arabic” and long history of Islamic influence. These North African countries are categorized by World Health Organization (WHO) as the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR) and by the UNICEF as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region (except for Djibouti and Somalia). Algeria will be considered in section VI as a non EMR but MENA region country. The countries are reviewed by their nutritional status and infant feeding status with a focus on breastfeeding and complementary feeding based on the latest global effort by UNICEF for re-analyzing the national surveys linked to Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) data. Other advocacy issues linked to breastfeeding promotion and support included are the status and trends in the Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) and maternity support for the breastfeeding working mothers for each country. |
