Abstract

This document first presents findings on some of the key practices recommended by UNICEF and WHO for improving children’s survival, growth and development. The findings are grouped according to those practices that: 1) promote child growth and development, 2) contribute to disease prevention, and 3) ensure adequate management of illness and care seeking for sick children as well as care and support for pregnant/lactating women. The paper then discusses some of the factors that influence women’s ability to follow recommended practices, with a particular focus on women’s workload and time constraints.
