About <strong>IBFAN</strong><br />
The International Baby Food Action Network (<strong>IBFAN</strong>) is a<br />
coalition of voluntary organisations in both developing and<br />
industrialised nations, working for better child health and<br />
nutrition through the promotion of breastfeeding and the<br />
elimination of irresponsible marketing of artificial infant<br />
foods.<br />
<strong>IBFAN</strong> was launched in October 1979 and the network<br />
now counts over 200 citizen groups in 95 countries around<br />
the world. The network helped to develop the WHO/<br />
UNICEF International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk<br />
Substitutes and is committed to seeing marketing practices<br />
everywhere change accordingly. <strong>IBFAN</strong> has successfully<br />
used boycotts and adverse publicity to press companies into<br />
more ethical behaviour. It also helps to promote and<br />
support breastfeeding in other ways.<br />
About ICDC<br />

worldwide. ICDC publishes The State of the Code by<br />
Country and The State of the Code by Company every two<br />

drafting appropriate legislation and other measures to<br />
protect breastfeeding. ICDC collects, analyses and evaluates<br />
national laws and draft laws. ICDC also conducts Code<br />
monitoring courses and maintains a database on Code<br />
