NetCode toolkit: monitoring the marketing of breast-milk substitutes: protocol for periodic assessments

Overview

This protocol for periodic assessment provides procedures, processes and tools that help the country assess the level of adherence to the Code and/or national laws in different settings. The assessment targets several critical stakeholders – mothers, retailers, health workers, health facilities and media channels.

As with the ongoing monitoring system, the overall goal of the periodic assessment is to stop all promotional activities related to the marketing of breast-milk substitutes, feeding bottles and teats.
