Lactation Specialists Responding to the Ukraine Crisis
The Infant Feeding in Emergencies (IFE) Core Group is a global collaboration of humanitarian agencies and individuals that was formed to develop guidance and resource materials, documents lessons learned, and builds capacity for effective Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) support in emergency contexts.

The IFE Core Group Communications and Advocacy working group is conducting a mapping exercise to identify lactation and infant feeding support persons and organizations within Ukraine and in neighboring countries to identify support, gaps, and needs in the area of infant feeding in emergencies.

This will include the identification and communication regarding opportunities for capacity sharing within infant and young child feeding in emergencies.

Our aim is to provide a comprehensive roster of organizations or individuals who may provide breastfeeding counseling and skilled lactation support in community settings as well as those who can provide feedback, input, and review of documents to best serve the collective response.

Please complete a separate entry for each organization or individual you wish to include.

Thank you for your support
