while the proportion of children under 6 months old using bottle and nipple remained quite high. The
proportion of children aged from 6 to 23 months receiving a minimum acceptable diet was 50.3%. The
proportion of children aged from 6 to 35 months receiving vitamin A supplementation was 92.7%.

Note:
Because IYCF indicators have just been integrated into the nutrition surveillance system since 2010, additional time would be
needed to improve the data collection.
