World Breastfeeding Week 1st - 7th August 2022

 As promoted by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA); the 2022 campaign objectives for World Breastfeeding Week are:

• Inform - people about their role in strengthening the warm chain of support for breastfeeding
• Anchor - breastfeeding as part of good nutrition, food security and reduction of inequalities​
• Engage - with individuals and organisations along the warm chain of support for breastfeeding​
• Galvanise - action on strengthening capacity of actors and systems for transformational change

 As in previous years, the target audiences for this annual event include governments, health systems, workplaces and communities in the hope that they will be informed, educated and empowered to strengthen their capacity to provide and sustain breastfeeding-friendly environments for families in the post pandemic world.
