Module 1. Infant feeding in emergencies.

Module 1 was developed through interagency collaboration (WHO, UNICEF, Linkages, IBFAN, ENN) and consultation with many experts and field workers. Version 1 was produced in November 2001. It's purpose is to prepare emergency relief staff to safeguard maternal and child health and is appropriate for decision-makers, regional managers, logisitics officiers, camp administrators and all those who directly or indirectly support mothers and children in emergencies. It complements the content of Module 2.
An update of Module 1 is planned for 2008. This will be carried out by the IFE Core Group, and funded by the IASC Nutrition Cluster.
The current version of Module 1 should only be used by refering and defering to the latest policy guidance, in particualr WHO Guidance on Infant Feeding and HIV and the Operational Guidance on IFE (v2.1, Feb 2008).
Module 1 comprises three parts - a core manual, presenters notes and slides content. The slides content is available as a powerpoint presentation and has been updated (Feb 2008) to reflect the current Operational Guidance on IFE (v2.1, Feb 2007) and latest guidance on infant feeding and HIV.
