Phase 1: National Policy Activities. For the first two
years (1997–1999), LINKAGES provided support to

particularly the establishment and coordination of an
intersectoral nutrition action group, known as the
GAIN (Groupe d’Action Intersectoriel pour la Nutrition).
Phase 2: District and Community Activities. In 1999
LINKAGES’ focus expanded to the district level, with

the population of Madagascar.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In 1997 the USAID Mission asked the LINKAGES
Project to develop a strategy to integrate the
lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) into the
national reproductive health care service delivery
system of Jordan. LAM is based on the natural
infertility resulting from certain patterns of
breastfeeding. The objective of the Ministry of
Health (MOH)/LINKAGES LAM Project (1998–
2004) was to increase quality offering and
acceptance of LAM as a transition to the use of
other modern family planning methods.
The MOH and LINKAGES introduced LAM in all
351 government maternal and child health (MCH)
centers in the country.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In India, LINKAGES trained PVO partners and government
and community-based staff to apply an innovative
behavior change communication (BCC)
methodology to introduce or reinforce simple,
culturally appropriate and effective infant and
young child feeding practices. After
the practices were tested and adapted in Phase
I (1997-2001), the partners replicated the approach
more broadly in their programs throughout
India in Phase II (2002-2004).]]></description>

work with the Regional Economic Development
Services Office for East and Southern Africa
(REDSO/ESA) in 1997 under the Greater Horn of
Africa Initiative (GHAI). The original objectives of
GHAI were to improve food security and prevent
conflict in the region using five basic principles to
guide program implementation: 1) ensuring African
ownership, 2) promoting strategic coordination,
3) linking relief and development, 4)
promoting regional approaches, and 5) assuming
underlying instability in the region.]]></description>
