  6. Challenges faced during the process • Active participation of the WBTi working group • The data collection from different source was difficult • Shyness to admit the negative results regarding the indicators • Reduced commitment after distribution of responsibility • Data on some indicator was not available during the assessment period (BDHS) • In some cases data were not available according to criteria of the indicators Bangladesh Breastfeeding Foundation

  7. Methods used to tackle the challenges • Regular/frequent follow-up with the group members by BBF office • Included data closest to the indicator’s criteria • BBF went to work in partners offices • All agreed to endorse the process finally • Final output sharing meeting was very successful with DGHS in Chair Bangladesh Breastfeeding Foundation

  8. Positive experiences during the process • Stakeholders were very proud to be in a international group on BF assessment in the beginning • Most of the data were identified easily during the assessment • The process created an awareness among the members including the Government officials and stakeholder • BBF is preparing work plan on IYCF and advocacy with different stakeholder according to WBTi indicator criteria Bangladesh Breastfeeding Foundation

  9. Positive experiences during the process • Revealed that more MCH and Health areas should be associated for better result of IYCF outcomes. • Relationship developed among stakeholder’s of IYCF. Bangladesh Breastfeeding Foundation

  10. Suggestion for improving the process • The circulation to get such data base should be made sufficiently ahead ( six months) • In-country coordination should be ensured after the guidelines are available from IBFAN • Uniform data base should used across the countries • Scoring should be done by quantitative measures • Cross communication among countries and groups such as teleconference/ satellite meetings should be done frequently.
