Summary

The study will use a quasi-experimental design to examine the feasibility of standardizing MIYCN counseling services in existing health facilities to improve the quality of MIYCN services. The impact of standardized and upgraded services on client utilization, knowledge and behavior will also be measured. 8 NGO-run urban health facilities in Dhaka will receive intensified MIYCN interventions, while another 8 NGO-run urban health facilities will serve as a comparison group. No randomization will take place.

1. Capacity building for health providers and nutrition counselors (training on MIYCN SBCC from A\&T). 2. Dedicated room for MIYCN counseling at health facilities with standardized layouts, displays of government IYCF logo, and other specifications. 3. Availability of standardized MIYCN-specific BCC materials and job aids. 4. Standardized MIYCN counseling services (counseling on diet diversity and quantity, IFA and calcium supplementation, weight gain monitoring, exclusive and early initiation of breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and water, sanitation and health) provided by a dedicated MIYCN counselor hired by A\&T. 5. Dedicated community worker hired by A\&T to identify and mobilize beneficiaries needing services in the community (via satellite clinic outreach, distribute MIYCN flyers, and provision of MIYCN education via phone or home visits). 6. Supportive supervision of MIYCN counselors and community workers by program and facility managers, and field supervisors.
