Abstract

Appropriate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices are crucial to promote a healthy and diverse diet in early life and prevent malnutrition. In low-resource settings, contextual (cultural, socioeconomic, and political) factors can hinder childhood development and increase the risk of malnutrition and other non-communicable diseases in the future. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) offer opportunities to tackle these challenges; however, designing and deploying technologies remains a major challenge especially in low-resource settings. Taking a Participatory Design approach, this research investigates how to use and adapt co-design methods to foster the engagement and participation of low-resource communities in the design process of socio-technical health interventions to support complementary feeding practices.
