food supplements. An investment with the Chinese Ministry of

Health supported the development, marketing and distribution

of soy-enriched vitamin and mineral complementary

food supplements called Ying Yang Bao to poor families

educate mothers, parents and caregivers on the importance

of sound infant and young child feeding practices such as

complementary feeding in conjunction with breastfeeding.

The project catalyzed policymakers in the Chinese Government

to scale up the use of Ying Yang Bao in the earthquake-affected

areas of Sichuan Province and of multiple micronutrient

for the expansion of production and market-based distribution

of the product in China, as well as for the transfer of the

technology in other markets in Asia and Africa.

Project Overview

In November 2007, GAIN awarded US$ 280,900 to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention to develop affordable nutrient sachets containing soy flour to improve the nutrition of children 6 months to 24 months old and raise awareness around the product through social marketing. The product is called Ying Yang Bao.

Goal

The goal of the project is to develop and assess a private public sector partnership to market low cost nutrient sachets containing soy flour to poor families.

Impact

The project is expected to improve the nutritional status of children to 6 months to 24 months old.

Duration

The project is funded from November 2007 to February 2009, but has been extended to December 2009.

 

Designed by Madam Chen, the nutritional supplement for infants over six months, called YingYangBao, will be distributed through an innovative social business model: impact on health and employability, in particular, are the objectives of this project. From this, in 2011, danone.communities will support NutrtiGO through an innovative partnership.
