Abstract

In the context of rural Bangladesh, we assess whether agriculture training alone, nutrition behavior communication change (BCC) alone, combined agriculture training and nutrition BCC, or agriculture training and nutrition BCC combined with gender sensitization improve: (a) production diversity, either on household fields or through crop, livestock, or aquaculture activities carried out near the family homestead; and (b) diet diversity and the quality of household diets. All treatment arms were implemented by government employees. Implementation quality was high. No treatment increased production diversification of crops grown on fields. Treatment arms with agricultural training did increase the number of different crops grown in homestead gardens and the likelihood of any egg, dairy, or fish production but the magnitudes of these effect sizes were small. All agricultural treatment arms had, in percentage terms, large effects on measures of levels of homestead production. However, because baseline levels of production were low, the magnitude of these changes in absolute terms was modest. Nearly all treatment arms improved measures of food consumption and diet with the largest effects found when nutrition and agriculture training were combined. Relative to treatments combining agriculture and nutrition training, we find no significant impact of adding the gender sensitization on our measures of production diversity or diet quality. Interventions that combine agricultural training and nutrition BCC can improve both production diversity and diet quality, but they are not a panacea. They can, however, contribute toward better diets of rural households. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Children in Malawi face high rates of malnutrition and are at risk of not reaching their developmental potential. Community-based childcare centres (CBCCs) can be cost-effective platforms for scaling-up early childhood development (ECD) and nutrition social behaviour change (SBC) interventions. However, evidence also suggests potential synergies from coupling nutrition SBC with cash transfers (CT), given that rural households in Malawi face high levels of poverty and recurring extreme lean season food-security shocks. The Maziko trial is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of using CBCCs and parenting care groups as platforms to improve maternal diets and child nutrition and development by providing nutrition-sensitive SBC and CT intervention packages in communities already receiving a standard of care Government SBC program. Methods: We designed a 3-year cluster-randomised controlled trial in two districts of Malawi, including 156 communities randomised to one of four treatment arms: (1) standard of care (SoC) arm: receiving the standard Government SBC program; (2) SBC arm: receiving the SoC intervention with additional nutrition-sensitive SBC activities to improve nutritious food production, diets, and care practices for young children; (3) low CT arm: SoC plus SBC plus a maternal and child cash transfer ~ 17 USD per month; and (4) high CT arm: SoC plus SBC plus a maternal and child CT ~ 43 USD per month. The trial will enrol pregnant women and children < 2 years of age. The primary outcomes are maternal diet assessed using the mean probability of adequacy and child development assessed using the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool. Intermediate outcomes along the programme impact pathways will also be measured, including maternal mental health, maternal empowerment, child feeding practices, and child nutritional status. Discussion: This is the first study to examine the impact and synergies of combining ECD SBC with nutrition-sensitive SBC and CTs on maternal and child outcomes during the first 1000 days. The findings from this evaluation will inform national ECD and nutrition programmes. Trial registration: ISRCTN ISRCTN53055824. Registered on 7 March 2022. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
