Translating results into action: the global impact of the World Breastfeeding Trends Initiative.
Journal of Public Health Policy 2023 January 14
The World Breastfeeding Trends Initiative (WBTi) provides a participative framework to bridge the gaps in policies and programs on breastfeeding. This concurrent mixed-methods study investigated how and why carrying out WBTi evaluations in countries influences their breastfeeding policies and outcomes. We used data from WBTi's Global Repository to evaluate performance scores in 98 countries and conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews to investigate the impact of WBTi process, using the Managing for Development Results structure and actor-network theory. Countries that conducted WBTi multiple times seem to have better breastfeeding policies and practices than countries that have assessed only once. The central feature of the process and its subsequent impact is the dialectical interaction between the technical and political elements of the WBTi exercise. We believe that WBTi's framework is a promising monitoring and evaluation tool that could be used to engage dialogue in other public health areas.
