The Infant & Young Child Feeding in Emergencies Constellation serves as a bi-directional learning forum and centralized advocacy hub for the First Food field, working through an equity lens to support and coordinate preparedness, response, and resilience in the face of natural disasters and pandemics like COVID-19.

This constellation is in the emerging stage. If you represent a USBC member organization that has interest and capacity to join in this topic, please reach out to [email protected] to express interest.
