Adaptations of Sick Child Feeding Tools in Guatemala

Building on the behavioral design solutions developed in the Democratic Republic of Congo related to sick child feeding, Breakthrough ACTION gathered behavioral insights from mothers and caregivers in Guatemala and adapted the tools to that country’s context. The tools have been incorporated into ongoing community-focused activities and can be used or adapted to other country contexts.
