*The toolkit was updated in July 2022. Please find the latest version of the IYCF-E Toolkit here.*

The IYCF-E toolkit has been designed as a resourceful collection of information and practical tools to begin implementation of IYCF-E programmes for a rapid start-up in case of an emergency.

The IYCF-E toolkit is envisioned to make available ready to use tools and resources that will allow advisors, managers, coordinators and officers to rapidly access needed technical input and begin implementation as soon as possible, without needing to spend time searching for certain tools.
