Alive & Thrive (A&T) is an initiative to save lives, prevent illness, and ensure healthy growth and development. Good nutrition in the first 1000 days, from conception to two years of age, is critical to enable all children to lead healthier and more productive lives. Alive & Thrive is scaling up improved infant and young child feeding and maternal nutrition (MIYCN) through large scale programs in several countries in Asia and Africa and through strategic technical support and the dissemination of innovations, tools, and lessons worldwide. Alive & Thrive is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation and the governments of Canada and Ireland. The initiative is managed by FHI 360.

FHI 360 envisions a world in which all individuals and communities have the opportunity to reach their highest potential. 

To improve lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions for human development.
