The WBTi, which serves as a lens to find out gaps in policy and programmes, help nations initiate action to bridge these gaps. This programme is already running in more than 50 countries. The brain child of IBFAN Asia, WBTi is an integrated part of two global projects jointly funded by NORAD and SIDA. Nepal Breastfeeding Promotion Forum co-ordinated the Nepal 2008 assessment. This report has been developed after detail study and analysis of existing policy and programme documentation.The core group that led this analysis also used pertinent information that we received from Government of Nepal through several key documents, websites and published information. The web based toolkit, according to WBTi guidelines, has rated the finding. Nepal score 80.5 Out of total 150 and stands in YELLOW based in grid of Red, Yellow, Blue and Green in ascending order of performance or achievement. The report has found glaring gaps in both policy and programme and has not shown much improvement since 2005 when similar assessment was conducted. Assessment findings were also discussed with larger group and consensus was achieved in identification of gaps and recommendations for bridging them. Following are the salient feature of the report for indicators 1 - 5 we provide data to compare the situation 2001 and 2006 for indicator 6 - 15 which are related to policy and programme, gaps and recommendations are highlighted.
