About the Infant & Young Child Nutrition Project
The IYCN Project is the flagship project on infant and young child nutrition of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Begun in 2006, the five-year project aims to improve nutrition for mothers, infants, and young children and prevent the transmission of HIV to infants and children. IYCN builds on 25 years of USAID leadership in maternal, infant, and young child nutrition. Our focus is on proven interventions that are effective during pregnancy through the first two years of life.
The Infant & Young Child Nutrition Project is funded by the United States Agency for International
Development. The project is led by PATH and includes three partners: CARE, The Manoff Group, and
University Research Co., LLC. For more information, please contact info@iycn.org or visit www.iycn.org.
