Since 2004, every year, IBFAN Asia organises an

annual Forum in a different country of the region

in which IBFAN country groups, Governments, UN and

other agencies participate and deliberate on the

issues related with infant and young child feeding.

This annual event was started as a follow up to the

to promote

the implementation of the

, organised by the

Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India (BPNI) and

The International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN)

Asia, in Delhi in 2003. Since then, the major objective

of the annual Forums has been to strengthen the

breastfeeding movement and its linkages with the

governments and the UN agencies and enhancing

interest and action on infant and young child feeding

in the region. Till, 2008, only South Asian countries

were participating in the Forum. In the year 2009,

participants from South-east Asia and East Asia also

joined the Forum and the event was rechristened as

the One Asia Breastfeeding Partners’ Forum. This

The 10 One Asia Breastfeeding Partners Forum (here in after called Forum 10) was held in Brunei

Darussalam from 27 -30 October 2014, and brought together over 200 participants from 21 countries

and areas of Asia and Oceania region. The participants represented governments, civil society,

professionals and other organizations from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam,

People's Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR, Chinese Taipei, India, Indonesia, Republic of Korea, Lao PDR,

Nepal, Malaysia, Myanmar, Maldives, Philippines, Republic of Palau, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and

Vietnam.

The theme of the Forum was “Complementary Feeding of Infants and Young Children - Give Moms

Access to Appropriate Food, No Child will Go Hungry”. Ministry of Health, Brunei Darussalam and

International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) Asia jointly hosted it.

The Forum 10 participants, having discussed the gaps in policies and programmes on MIYCN in particular

on complementary feeding;

Recalling the global commitments enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC); the

Convention Against All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), Millennium Development

Goals especially 1,4 and 5 on poverty reduction, child survival and maternal health; International

Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and subsequent relevant World Health Assembly

resolutions; SAARC Model Code for the Protection of Breastfeeding and Young Child Nutrition 1996;

Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding 2002; Maternity Protection Convention 2000;

Innocenti Declarations of 1990 and 2005; Call for action and Declarations adopted at the One Asia

Breastfeeding Partner's Forums held in Dhaka, Kathmandu, Kabul, New Delhi, Thimphu, Colombo,

Jakarta, Ulaanbaatar, Luang Prabang from 2004 to 2013; and Delhi Declaration on Infant and young

child feeding adopted at the World Conference on Breastfeeding 2012;

Recalling the 63 World Health Assembly, which took place in May 2010, Member States adopted

resolution WHA 63.14 on marketing of food and non-alcoholic beverages to children. Research has

shown that food advertising to children is extensive and other forms of marketing of food to children

are widespread across the world and a significant amount of this marketing is for foods with a high

content of fat sugar or salt and that television advertising influences children's food preferences,

purchase requests and consumption patterns. Set of recommendations on marketing of food and

non-alcoholic beverages to children was endorsed by Member States to develop appropriate multi-

sectoral approaches to deal with the marketing of food to children;

Deeply concerned about the double burden of malnutrition which continues to be a serious problem

in Asia and Oceania region;

th

th th

rd

�

�

�

Deeply concerned of the lack of food security and access to drinking water and its over

commercialization that displaced community empowerment;

Deeply concerned of the marketing exploitation of malnutrition by food and beverages industries;

cross branding of baby foods and food for children by companies and changing concept of healthy

feeding from freshly cooked, home-based foods to pre-processed and packaged foods;

Deeply concerned of the growing profit-driven marketing of processed foods for children and

mothers, causing serious problems that undermine both breastfeeding and complementary feeding

practices, particularly on the promotion of breastmilk substitutes as well as commercial food

products for pregnant and lactating mothers;

Recognising that most of the member countries do not have clear policy and plan of action on

disasters and emergencies management in relation to MIYCN preparedness and response; where it

exists, there is little attention paid to women and children, as well as Infant and Young Child Feeding

(IYCF) guidelines. In this situation, the key issues are unnecessary donation of breastmilk substitutes

and infant foods; distribution of processed and therapeutic foods; rampant violation of the

International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes; and lack of guideline, regulation and

enforcement in this situation;

Recognising that good complementary feeding based on indigenous foods is the sustainable way

forward; strongly reaffirmed that breastfeeding is life saving measure, and is the best investment for

long term, holistic human health and development; gaps exist in both policy and programmes as

reported in the World Breastfeeding Trends Initiative (WBT ) reports; the importance of World

Breastfeeding Trends Initiative (WBT ) in benchmarking the status of policy and programmes on IYCF

by the countries; and benefits of new tools like World Breastfeeding Costing Initiative in developing

action plans and budgeting them;

Deeply concerned about the presence of commercial conflicts of interest at every level of

development, implementation and regulation of nutrition policy and food standards; processed

food are unhealthy and contain high level of salt, sugar, fat and harmful chemicals that are linked to

NCDs and environmental degradation; and ready to use therapeutic foods containing high amount of

fat which may have long term adverse effects and also replacing freshly cooked and home-based

indigenous foods;

Recognising the evidence from many countries, severe malnutrition in children can be prevented

and treated by establishing good community facilities such as crèches and providing good caring

environment and cooked food to children;

Recognising that loopholes exist in the current guidelines on complementary feeding for breastfed

children and often used as entry points by commercial vested interests groups to push commercial

products as complementary foods; and strong evidence is required from high impact research in

complementary feeding.

i

i

Agree that good complementary feeding after six months along with continued breastfeeding up to 24

months and beyond must be a political commitment, and call upon all concerned the following actions:

1. Develop clear implementation guidelines for complementary feeding for children from six months

and beyond using freshly cooked, home-based indigenous foods.

2. Adopt the International Code of Marketing for Breastmilk Substitutes and relevant World Health

Assembly resolutions on Infant and Young Child Nutrition by 2015 and consequently to enact

legislations or strengthen existing national legislations.

3. Regulate marketing and advertising of all kinds of commercial foods for mothers and children.

4. Develop plans of action on emergency preparedness and response especially to help women and

children considering they are the most vulnerable groups; supporting them with breastfeeding

and appropriate as well as adequate complementary feeding including breastfeeding counselling

services; and avoiding unnecessary push of infant formula and other therapeutic food products

during disasters.

5. Undertake World Breastfeeding Trends initiative (WBT ) and World Breastfeeding Costing Initiative

(WBC ) processes on an urgent basis to benchmark the progress and implement the Global

Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding in its entirety.

6. All countries in Asia and Oceania should set up community-based projects or programmes to

prevent malnutrition through the use of freshly cooked, home-based indigenous foods, as well as

use of locally produced foods for treating malnutrition.

7. Countries facing malnutrition among women and children should take all efforts to provide

appropriate food-based solutions, and stop the widespread use of commercial multiple or single

micronutrient supplements.

8. Countries should establish a system of monitoring and evaluation for MIYCN implementation to

track programme management and impact as well as strengthen IYCF initiatives by mainstreaming

it into health care systems.

9. Policy development and regulatory mechanisms at all levels of food and nutrition policy must be

free from conflict of interest.

10. Institutionalize health care worker training on breastfeeding and infant and young child feeding

counselling skills at all levels in the community particularly focusing on locally grown indigenous

complementary foods.

Breastfeeding Action (WABA). He spoke about

‘Feeding the Future – Challenges and Opportunities’.

He described breastfeeding as a wonderful gift of

nature highlighting the ‘Panchshila’ of breastfeeding

like a beautiful flower with five petals – breastfeeding

is an essential medicine, good nutrition, ecologically

friendly, economically good and representing the

wonderful bond of love of mother and child. He made

three suggestions - that everyone should support

wonderful IBFAN project – WBT ; Brunei should

consider organizing a World Conference on Child Care

in Islam; and IBFAN, WABA, WHO, UNICEF and Brunei

together should institute an annual global award –

‘World Breastfeeding Prize’.

Various sessions based on the theme of the Forum

were organised. All the sessions were very

informative and interactive. A brief description of

sessions during the Forum is given below:

This presentation was

made by Dr. KP Kushwaha, Principal and Head of

Paediatrics Department, BRD Medical College,

Gorakhpur, India. He deliberated upon WHO Guiding

Principles for Complementary Feeding of the

Breastfed Child (2001), Guidelines for Infant and

Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (2007) and HIV

and Infant feeding Guidelines by WHO (2010). He

further emphasised that with ever-emerging scientific

evidence, there is a need to revisit the WHO

guidelines for complementary feeding. He

recommended that there should be political will and

defined government policies to protect, promote, and

support complementary feeding; uniform definitions

of various terms used for complementary feeding and

in the guidelines thereof should be made;

recommendations on macronutrient and

micronutrient should be consistent and updated, and

home cooked complementary foods should be

promoted and protected.

Annelies Allain, Director, International Code

Documentation Centre (ICDC) and Co-founder of

IBFAN, discussed exploding world markets, especially

in Asia, with toddler milks or growing-up milks. She

further stated that these products were invented by

the industry to use loopholes in the International

Code of Marketing to freely promote them as

advertising for toddler milk functions as indirect

promotion for infant formula. By cross-branding and

brand-extension, such promotion undermines

breastfeeding and appropriate complementary

feeding. She highlighted such activities from Asian

countries and suggested reporting of cross-branding

activities.

Professor Dr. Hajjah

Adlina Suleiman, Medical Professor, National Defence

University of Malaysia discussed findings of the study

on Growing-Up Milk. Objective of the study was to

determine if marketing of growing up milk in mass

media influences a mother’s choice of feeding.

Main component of the study shared by Professor Dr.

Adlina was to show the mother the paper

advertisement of the formula product for five seconds

and subsequently record her observation about the

brand name and various numbering depicted on the

labels of growing up milks like 1 or 2 or 3 etc. It was

also recorded if she has noticed the statement about

mother’s milk on the label. When shown the picture

of the milk formula 90.6% saw the brand but only

75.5% got the brand right, 50.1% saw the number 1,

52.8% saw the number 2, 58.5% saw the number 3

and 4, 62.3% saw the Mama’s Milk word. 41.5 %

mothers stated they see no obvious difference

between the packaging of infant formula and the

growing up milk. Only 50.9% mothers said that they

can differentiate the advertisement for infant formula

and growing up milk. She emphasised that there may

be cross reference to the branded mothers milk (they

may buy infant formula from the brand that they used

while pregnant) and continue for growing up milk.

In this multi-country experince

sharing session, Dr. Romelei Camiling-Alfonso,

Philippines; Dr. Renuka Jayatissa, Sri Lanka; Dr.

Chwang Leh Chi, Chinese Taipei and Mia Sutanto,

Indonesia discussed importance of appropriate infant

and young child feeding in saving lives of children

during emergencies and disasters. The session dealt

with the topic by sharing experiences during a real-life

situation in Philippines, Sri Lanka, Chinese Taipei and

Indonesia. The common challenges faced by each

country highlighted by experts were managing

donation from companies which often try to make

emergency situations into business especially among

infant formula milk companies; and sub-optimal

implementation of the existing International and

national guidelines for infant and young child feeding

during emergencies at country level. During

emergency, there are often no interventions offered

to pregnant and lactating mothers due to lack of

training programmes as well as guidelines in disaster

preparedness for nutrition emergency at country

level.

Day TwoDay Two of the Forum was devoted to Food Security

and Safety. Following presentations were made by

experts in this session:

Dr. S K Roy from Bangladesh and Dr.

Vandana Prasad from India shared their respective

research experience of effectively managing and

preventing acute malnutrition at community level in

developing countries like Bangladesh and India by

using homemade, local foods. Dr. Roy gave general

information about the child malnutrition in global as

well as Bangladesh context. He stated that the ideal

rehabilitation for an acutely malnourished children

should be to gain body weight with muscle and bone

through a longer time with near normal body

composition, which may be achieved with home made

high energy foods made with local ingredients. He

shared his research studies showing effective

management of acute malnutrition using home made

foods like Khichuri. Dr. Vandana Prasad shared her

experience of managing acute malnutrition in India

using a multi strategic intervention titled ‘Action

Against Malnutrition’ (AAM). Various interventions

used are – System strengthening, Participatory

Learning Activity (PLA) and provision of Creches.

Crèches catered children from 6 months to 3 years

providing space for working mothers who can go to

work freely and then can come and breastfeed their

children at regular intervals. Complementary feeding

of children was also taken care of in the Creches

where meals were provided 3 times a day and for

children who were undernourished 5 times a day with

increase in the amount of cooking oil. With these

intereventions, the study reported a significant

decrease in the incidence of wasting in children. Both

the speakers highlighted vital role of optimal infant

and young child feeding practices in preventing acute

malnutrition.

In

this session, Ma. Ines Av. Fernandez from Philippines

talked about Food that Heals, Food that Makes you ill.

While Siti Norjinah Moin from Malaysia spoke about

Food and Spirituality . Both the speakers emphasised

about immense properties of traditional foods for

preventing diseases and providing healing. With the

advent of time, societies have forgetten beneficial

properties of these food items. Hence the use of

hazardous, high sugar, high fats, and high salt foods is

increasing.

Kim Jaiok, South Korea, presented perils

of processed foods being marketed for children and

mothers. She highlighted the role of processed foods

in causing obesity, hypertension and other body

ailments in children as well as adults. She also shared

the global regulations and guidelines for marketing

and use of these products.

Dr. JP Dadhich from India

discussed how food standards and safety are a vital

issues affecting infants and young children’s health,

growth and development. He highlighted how Codex

Alimentarius process provides global standards for

composition, labelling, hygienic preparation and

storage etc. of foods items. He gave information about

the process of developing standards and some

relevant standards of foods for infants and young

children. He mentioned lack of participation of

government delegations from developing countries in

this important global process. He also shared

information about how industry is using the Codex

process for its benefit to facilitate the trade. Industry

is participating in vital decision-making process to

formulate the food standards at global and national,

which is a clear case of Conflict of Interest. He stated

that the International Association of Infant Food

Manufacturers represents industry in the

International Codex meetings as an observer. But

more problematic is industry representative

participating in the meetings as a member of official

country delegations. He gave an example of Codex

Committee on Nutrition and Food for Special Dietary

Uses (CCNFSDU) meeting in 2013, in which country

delegation of China had representatives of formula

companies like Dumex, Nutricia, Nestle, Mead-

Johnson, and Abbott. Formula industry also sponsors

national delegations to participate in the Codex

Committee meetings. At national level, industry

participates in the national codex committee

meetings as a member and influence vital decisions

on national positions on proposals being discussed in

various Codex Committees. He gave an example of

India, where industry is a member of many national

committes on Codex.

He suggested that more governments from

developing countries and IBFAN/other public interest

NGOs should participate more actively in the Codex

process both at national as well as international level.

He further emphasized that prevailing Conflict of

Interest in the international/national codex process

needs to be addressed.

Faizah Jamal, parliamentarian &

environmental lawyer from Singapore discussed

environmental degradation being a major challenge in

front of the world community today and in the quest

Protecting Food Safety and Food Security through

Codex Alimentarius:

Water Water Everywhere—But where are the Drops

for ‘development’, deforestation is happening. At the

same time, limited resources like water are being used

without prudence.

In this interactive

session, three speakers from each sub-region of Asia,

namely, East Asia, South Asia and South-East Asia

shared some innovative ideas about diverse foods

from different communities in their respective

countries. Dr. Homayoun Ludin from Afghanistan

shared information about the newly developed

‘improved feeding practices and recipes’ book by the

government of Afghanistan. He shared various recipes

of locally prepared complementary foods like potato

and bean mash, milky rice, rice soup etc. He also

discussed nutrient contents of such recipes. He

informed about the training being imparted to

government staff about preparation of foods based on

these recipes so that they may transfer this skill to the

community. Ms. Meena Gurung from Bhutan shared

some recipes for complementary foods prepared with

locally available food ingredients like rice porridge and

red rice pudding. Dr. Khamseng Philavong from Lao

PDR shared prevailing situation of undernutrition in

her country. Further she shared recipes of common

complementary foods used in LAO PDR like rice and

egg mix, rice with groundnut mix and their nutritional

composition. Dr. Quan L Nga made a presentation on

innovative food, resources and community

participation for complementary feeding of infants

and children in Vietnam. She informed that diverse

foods are being used as complementary foods in

Vietnam. She shared some recipes of common

complementary foods like vegetable soup made of

tomato, carrot, peas, potato, oil and salt. Dr. Yupayong

Hangchaovanich from Thailand stated that Thailand

has developed food based dietary guidelines for

children’s complementary foods which also contains

recipes for nutritious complementary foods prepared

with locally available ingredients like gruel made of

mashed potato, boiled egg yolk, pumpkin and

breastmilk; and gruel made of mashed rice, chicken,

carrot and breastmilk. Dr. Chwang Leh-Chii from

Chinese Taipei shared recipes from her country like

small fish congee made of rice, green soybean, clear

broth and small fish; chicken rice with egg Fu-Yung

made of egg, chicken sweet corn and rice; rice noodle

with tomato and pork; pork tofu with sweet potato

and rice etc. Mrs. Shuyi Zhang from China shared

some recipes of common complementary foods, their

nutritional values along with the method to prepare

them. Some of the recipes were Noodle with egg,

tomato, and minced meat and Porridge with chicken

liver mud. Overall, this session reflected diversified

food culture in Asian countries and common use of

local ingredients to prepare the complementary

foods.

This session dealt

with many important issues related to Maternal,

Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN). Dr. Ong Sok

King from Brunei Darussalam shared development of

the national strategy for MIYCN in Brunei Darussalam

for the period 2014-2020. She shared MIYCN related

statistics in Brunei Darussalam, evolution of MIYCN

related services & policies, process of developing the

national strategy in and the plan for its

implementation.

Madam Lavan Southisan spoke on the gender equality

and gender machinery in Lao PDR. She stated that

education among women is still lower than the men

though the Gender Parity Index (GPI) in Lao PDR has

improved in all three levels of education. She

informed that women are now present in political and

other higher policy making positions. She mentioned

how institutional mechanisms like Lao Womens’

Union and National Commission for the Advancement

of Women are working for the empowerment of

women.

Blecenda Varona, PhD Nutrition from Philippines,

discussed food therapy implementation in sick moms

with NCDs and malnutrition and highlighted role of

plant based foods in preventing coronary artery

disease. Dr. Patricia Ip from Hong Kong SAR

highlighted Hong Kong experience of measures for

prevention of maternal and child malnutrition. She

informed that in her country, childhood obesity is a

real problem and directly related with high protein

and sodium intake, low intake of fibers, very common

use of infant formula particularly in children beyond

one year of age, inadequate intake of vegetables and

fruits. In mothers, undernutrition is uncommon but

there is increasing use of commercially available milks

for mothers. She mentioned that to address the

prevailing situation, Code implementation has been

strengthened and a committee on promotion of

breastfeeding has been established. Among various

challenges, private hospitals are still not certified for

BFHI, and maternity leave is for 10 weeks only.

Day Three of the Forum was devoted to discuss

progress in WBTi assessment process and

development of Bandar Seri Begawan Declaration of

the 10th One Asia Breastfeeding Partners Forum.

This session included presentation about

the progress in WBT assessment from some newly

trained countries including Brunei Darussalam,

Myanmar, Palau and Singapore. All four countries

made significant progress in identifying the process to

accomplish the assessment in their respective

countries. Followed by this, there was a presentation

about the new revised WBT tool by Dr. JP Dadhich. He

shared information about the need and process of

revision and salient contents of the revised tool.
