Training on Standardized Protocol for AIN-C Implementation: To ensure that Title II Cooperating Sponsors (CSs) implement AIN-C according to Secretariat of Health norms and standards, FANTA has been providing training and technical support. Training topics have addressed implementation of key program components, complementary activities, and monitoring and evaluation, and have been followed by field visits to review post-training implementation. Technical Assistance to Key AIN-C Documents: FANTA assisted the Secretariat of Health in Honduras in updating the following documents key to the implementation and scale-up of AIN-C: Facilitator's Guide for Training Institutional Level Personnel, Facilitator's Guide for Training Community Health Volunteers, the Community Heath Volunteer Manual and the Supervisory Checklist. Behavior Change Strategies in Infant and Young Child Feeding: FANTA facilitated two workshops for Title II CSs, the first designed to provide the tools necessary to conduct formative investigations in infant and young child feeding, followed by a two-month period for participants to apply the tools in the field. The second workshop gave participants the opportunity to design their behavior change strategies based on the data they had collected. The workshop was structured around the BEHAVE framework, which organizes key decisions that project planners must make when designing the behavior change component of their programs. Country-Specific MCHN Working Groups: To strengthen dialogue and encourage sharing of effective practices within each country, FANTA helped establish maternal and child health and nutrition (MCHN) working groups in Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.
