This year's WBW theme is Breastfeeding: a key to Sustainable Development. 2016 commemorates the start of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A broad approach using the sustainability theme is thus relevant and inclusive. It will enable the breastfeeding movement (and beyond) to connect with a variety of development issues over the next 15 years (2030) for maximum impact.Breastfeeding is linked to the SDGs in several ways.
The WBW materials will cover the main link areas between breastfeeding and the SDGs along 5 broad themes:
nutrition/food security,
health, well-being and survival,
environment and climate change,
work productivity, empowerment, social protection,and
sustainable partnerships and rule of law. Watch this space for more information and updates.
