  IBFAN is seizing the opportunity of its 30th anniversary to launch the global Breastfeeding Initiative for Child Survival. This is an international effort based on the power of people, firmly rooted in their communities, to mobilise public opinion to work with governments and press the baby food industry for changes in order to reduce rates of infant and maternal mortality. In the past 30 years, the International Baby Food Action Network, IBFAN, has grown from a small group of founding NGOs to a worldwide network. IBFAN is using the strength and resilience of its 200 groups in 95 countries to exert pressure on national authorities to fulfil their legal obligations under international agreements and human rights treaties.
