I would like to find out whether there is a guideline developed by IYCF-E group or by any country on how to assess the impact or the contribution of Fathers' Support Groups to improve IYCF in emergency. My organization is planning to do a rapid assessment in loations where we operate.
Many thanks

Hello,
Here is a paper that may be helpful: Fathers perceptions and personal experiences of complementary feeding of children 6 to 23 months in south-western Zimbabwe : https://worldnutritionjournal.org/index.php/wn/article/view/645 - the paper can give you some ideas about the kinds of questions to ask etc.
Also, I am sure you have seen this: Facilitator's Guide for Father-to-Father Support Groups http://197.253.70.100/jspui/bitstream/123456789/172/1/Facilitator%20Guide.pdf which also may give you some ideas on the messages/questions to ask.
I hope others can contribute too!
Best,
Linda

Hello! I recently gathered a few resources on father support groups/resources for a discussion group within a course I am doing. These are not IYCF-E resources specifically, but I thought they might spark some interest and/or contacts for further exploration. There are French language links as well.
