More than half of parents and pregnant women exposed to aggressive formula milk marketing

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> <span style="background-color: white;">More than half of parents and pregnant women (51 per cent) surveyed for a new WHO/UNICEF report say they have been targeted with marketing from formula milk companies, much of which is in breach of international standards on infant feeding practices. </span></span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The report, <a href="https://www.unicef.org/documents/impact-bms-marketing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #0563c1;" target="_blank"><i>How marketing of formula milk influences our decisions on infant feeding</i></a>, draws on interviews with parents, pregnant women and health workers in eight countries. It uncovers systematic and unethical marketing strategies used by the formula milk industry – now worth a staggering US$55 billion – to influence parents’ infant feeding decisions.</span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The report finds that industry marketing techniques include unregulated and invasive online targeting; sponsored advice networks and helplines; promotions and free gifts; and practices to influence training and recommendations among health workers. The messages that parents and health workers receive are often misleading, scientifically unsubstantiated, and violate the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes (the Code) <span lang="EN-GB">– a landmark public health agreement passed by the World Health Assembly in 1981 to protect mothers from aggressive marketing practices by the baby food industry.</span></span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">“This report shows very clearly that formula milk marketing remains unacceptably pervasive, misleading and aggressive,” said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Regulations on exploitative marketing must be urgently adopted and enforced to protect children’s health.”</span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB">According to the report – which surveyed </span>8,500 parents and pregnant women, and 300 health workers <span lang="EN-GB">in cities across Bangladesh, China, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, the United Kingdom and Viet Nam – e</span>xposure to formula milk marketing reaches 84 per cent of all women surveyed in the United Kingdom; 92 per cent of women surveyed in Viet Nam and 97 per cent of women surveyed in China, increasing their likelihood of choosing formula feeding.</span></p><p class="yiv6578237889MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">“False and misleading messages about formula feeding are a substantial barrier to breastfeeding, which we know is best for babies and mothers,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. “We need robust policies, legislation and investments in breastfeeding to ensure that women are protected from unethical marketing practices -- and have access to the information and support they need to raise their families.”</span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Across all countries included in the survey, women expressed a strong desire to breastfeed exclusively, ranging from 49 per cent of women in Morocco to 98 per cent in Bangladesh. Yet the report details how a sustained flow of misleading marketing messages is reinforcing myths about breastfeeding and breast-milk, and undermining women’s confidence in their ability to breastfeed successfully. These myths include the necessity of formula in the first days after birth, the inadequacy of breast-milk for infant nutrition, that specific infant formula ingredients are proven to improve child development or immunity, the perception that formula keeps infants fuller for longer, and that the quality of breast-milk declines with time.</span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"> </span></p><p class="yiv6578237889MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Formula feeding is also prevalent in Tanzania, especially in urban areas. According to national data from 2016<a href="https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1/messages/45806#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #0563c1;" title=""><span class="yiv6578237889MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;">[1]</span></a>, 59% of children from birth to 6 months old are exclusively fed breastmilk, and 11%<a href="https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1/messages/45806#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #0563c1;" title=""><span class="yiv6578237889MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;">[2]</span></a> of mothers in Dar es Salaam are exposed to infant and young child feeding marketing of commercially produced infant and young child foods.</span></p><p class="yiv6578237889MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Tanzania has a long history of adopting policies and legislation to promote good nutrition for children, and in 2013 the National Regulations for Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes and Designated Products was updated to become the Tanzania Food, Drugs and Cosmetics (Marketing of Foods and Designated Products for Infants and Young Children), which prohibits the promotion of any product marketed for children under 5 years of age, including any product ‘for feeding of infants…or beverages, milks and other foods intended for use by infants and young children’.</span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 14.1333px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">“Every child deserves the best start to life possible”, says Shalini Bahuguna, UNICEF country representative in Tanzania, “and as Tanzania develops and urbanizes rapidly, we need to make sure mothers are given the opportunity to make healthy choices for their children, and that more mothers are able to choose to exclusively breastfeed for the first 6 months.”</span></span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 14.1333px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 14.1333px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">UNICEF is committed to supporting the Government of Tanzania to ensure optimal breastfeeding is promoted, protected and supported. The focus is on ensuring that women receive the needed support before, during and after childbirth and promoting various measures to ensure the safety of mothers and their infants to experience optimal breastfeeding.</span></span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="yiv6578237889Body" style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Breastfeeding within the first hour of birth, followed by exclusive breastfeeding for six months and continued breastfeeding for up to two years or beyond, offers a powerful line of defense against all forms of child malnutrition, including wasting and obesity. Breastfeeding also acts as babies’ first vaccine, protecting them against many common childhood illnesses. It also reduces women’s future risk of diabetes, obesity and some forms of cancer.

The study assumed pre-agreed contingency plans would reduce the costs of delivering humanitarian assistance to the poor, while improving the speed and targeting associated with the delivery of these benefits. When the long-term benefits were factored, the additional benefits to poor households could rise to above US$4 (please see <a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017ymqVqYZndtXR2guMGHtRDX0P3Q91fz6vhP2yZG4R_W5sVc-IMhvYFkJtSICiV8NEDFLT7ijd1ys4VUsdUhbFxkCte0vlSyciCOj-kHLa0B6XpxXWNP9O1YcbASwwo1NpOX4M4UILfJIFxwQ40DgZfq0EKNJ4Vt9EA5j34Rqa3qWEgGQgmM6m-9IQzlQCwLbyfIQ1AVoLDe8r-rWc9r5GZGJstU5PRGr&c=zia3XltfEniPXsi0Y_F3YCfa-tF9AbRQBmF8rgfJs9YB2KnZfta2JA==&ch=P1TcL0h4wdhPZZuH3pl0bWJLWM6NLJXchm3ZeGpzT-Yu4x_6B0t8Jw==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #2961d9;" target="_blank">Tables 2.1 and 5.2</a> ).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Start Network and ODI statistics show that at least 55% of crises are somewhat predictable, but less than 1% of humanitarian funding is released based on pre-agreed triggers or plans hinged on regional risk pools and early action systems . The vast majority of humanitarian funding is allocated after a crisis has happened, with more time spent on operational planning after securing the funding leading to preventable loss of lives and livelihoods.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The logic behind using financial instruments like insurance to protect people against a predictable hazard such as widespread, severe drought led Start Network to support ARC insurance model for drought. After a successful joint policy with the government of Senegal against drought for the <a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017ymqVqYZndtXR2guMGHtRDX0P3Q91fz6vhP2yZG4R_W5sVc-IMhvYFkJtSICiV8NEDFLT7ijd1ys4VUsdUhbFxkCte0vlSyciCOj-kHLa0B6XpxXWNP9O1YcbASwwo1NpOX4M4UILfJIFxwQ40DgZfq0EKNJ4Vt9EA5j34Rqa3qWEgGQgmM6m-9IQzlQCwLbyfIQ1AVoLDe8r-rWc9r5GZGJstU5PRGr&c=zia3XltfEniPXsi0Y_F3YCfa-tF9AbRQBmF8rgfJs9YB2KnZfta2JA==&ch=P1TcL0h4wdhPZZuH3pl0bWJLWM6NLJXchm3ZeGpzT-Yu4x_6B0t8Jw==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #2961d9;" target="_blank">2019/2020 agricultural season</a>, Start Network has renewed the policy for the 2021-2022 season and after exploring needs in Southern Africa, we purchased another policy to replicate the government of Zimbabwe’s policy 2021-2022 as well. Start Network will be working alongside the Government of Zimbabwe and the World Food Programme (WFP), who launched ARC Replica in the country in 2019. Having three ARC policy holders in Zimbabwe ensures that a great number of vulnerable Zimbabweans are covered against the risk of major droughts. In addition, Start Network will work with the WFP to provide technical support to the government and other stakeholders in order to increase national capacity and ownership of disaster risk financing in the country.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Saving lives and livelihoods</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">ARC is an organisation mandated by the African Union to help African nations proactively manage climate-related humanitarian risks through macro-insurance. The ARC Replica programme allows non-governmental organisations like Start Network and the WFP to work side-by-side with governments to manage these risks. Through insurance policies and technical partnership, the ARC Replica programme aims to save lives and protect livelihood assets while minimising negative coping strategies. This is achieved by proactively managing drought risk through early action and response, before the risk morphs into a crisis, thus enabling us to assist more people earlier than would otherwise have been possible.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">These ARC Replica policies are premised on the basis that if rainfall levels drop below a pre-defined threshold, the Replica partner (Start Network members and/or WFP) and the government of the targeted African country would receive insurance pay-outs to implement pre-identified interventions to protect communities at risk earlier than traditional response timeframes. The ‘trigger’ for pay-out is defined in the insurance policy, and is typically triggered by an objective indicator, such as the calculation of an index. As ARC’s CBA analysis shows, such early intervention costs less than what post-event interventions would cost, reducing the humanitarian response cost.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Such policies also shift risk from farmers to financiers. Nearly half of all emergency multilateral food assistance to Africa is to assist with natural disasters. While taking out insurance on the vagaries of climatic related disasters is common practice in developed countries, in Africa and other developing countries, it is not common to see national-level insurance policies for drought, which would protect some of the poorest populations dependant on rain fed agriculture.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Through the ARC Replica programme, Start Network and WFP are contributing to innovation in the way climate risks are managed on the African continent. Working together with the respective governments, the two agencies have bought policies in 7 countries (Start Network - 2, WFP - 5) and plan to support more countries are currently in progress.  We hope that more African Governments will join the ARC initiative in the future so that more at risk populations in Africa can be protected against climate risks.</span></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv6955388016galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; text-align: justify; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td align="" class="yiv6955388016 yiv6955388016editor-col yiv6955388016OneColumnMobile" style="word-break: normal;" valign="top" width="100%"><div class="yiv6955388016gl-contains-text"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="yiv6955388016editor-text yiv6955388016editor-text " style="color: #403f42; display: block; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 20px; text-align: left; word-break: normal;" valign="top"><div></div><div class="yiv6955388016text-container yiv6955388016galileo-ap-content-editor"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: italic;">Distributed by</span><span style="color: #2961d9; font-style: italic;"> </span><a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017ymqVqYZndtXR2guMGHtRDX0P3Q91fz6vhP2yZG4R_W5sVc-IMhvYKe1XcI9Fa_uPfNSyk1VfalgCpINw-iaFWFgADwp5PhZ9WqpeaHG9Qbu6XGe9Uf7O4kySVXrS8sRigW_JkKZrtRYjXIQkF5Vxlr_ku15FXAs&c=zia3XltfEniPXsi0Y_F3YCfa-tF9AbRQBmF8rgfJs9YB2KnZfta2JA==&ch=P1TcL0h4wdhPZZuH3pl0bWJLWM6NLJXchm3ZeGpzT-Yu4x_6B0t8Jw==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #2961d9; font-style: italic;" target="_blank">African Media Agency</a><span style="color: #2961d9; font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-style: italic;">for Start Network.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table>

The big question is the extent to which remote working will continue to be adopted.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">While remote working was at first highly appealing in the early days of the pandemic and national lockdowns, the cracks soon started to appear as boredom and monotony set in.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The reality is that humans are social creatures and the workplace is, amongst other things, a social environment. Face-to-face engagements and chats around the coffee machine provide a sense of belonging that the digital world of Zoom and Skype just cannot replace. There is an energy found in the workplace that is not replicated when working from home and a level of creativity that results from spontaneous collaboration.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">As restrictions have been eased, many organisations have allowed their employees to return to work. Others have adopted a hybrid system of both in-office and remote working. However, key to any return to work has been the need for staff to be vaccinated, to protect both themselves and their colleagues.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Some countries have ruled that being vaccinated against Covid-19 is mandatory for employees working in certain sectors. Kenya, for example, ruled in 2021 that public service employees must have had at least one vaccination. Other countries, including Ghana, have ruled that health workers must be vaccinated.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">As employees return to the workplace, opportunities to attend conferences and events, for example, will only be accessible to those who are fully vaccinated.
