Kisumu County is stepping up efforts to combat malnutrition through the Baby-Friendly Community Initiative (BFCI).

The programme aims to strengthen nutrition resilience and recovery for crisis-affected households, aligning with Kenya's National Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) Policy and global guidelines from UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO).
