Evaluation of a micronutrient powder pilot project in Northern Ethiopia

Project Completed

 
Concern Worldwide and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) are jointly implementing a micronutrient powder (MNP) pilot project in the Tigray and Amhara regions of Northern Ethiopia. The project is targeted to children 6-23 months of age and will be implemented via Ethiopia’s public health system. The distribution of MNPs is complemented by behaviour change campaigns (BCC) to promote optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. As part of the pilot project’s evaluation, baseline and endline surveys are conducted to assess MNP coverage, utilization, adherence, and IYCF practices. GroundWork provides scientific and technical expertise to design the baseline and endpoint assessments and to interpret program monitoring data.
