Interact with the data visualization
Explore local patterns of exclusive breastfeeding among infants ages 0–6 months across Africa from 2000 to 2017 with this interactive visualization tool. Compare changes in prevalence over time and annualised rates of change at multiple geographic hierarchies (national and administrative levels, and at a 5 × 5-km resolution). Examine the probability of achieving the WHO’s Global Nutrition Target (GNT) of 50% exclusive breastfeeding prevalence by 2025. Search for specific geographies to view and share with others.
