Summary

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), a Swiss-based foundation, implemented a complementary feeding project to improve dietary quality among children 6-59 months of age living in Ethiopia by improving demand and access to eggs. Using a quasi-experimental design and two separate cross-sectional surveys at baseline and end-line, the evaluation seeks to determine the effects of the program on egg consumption, availability of eggs, caregivers' behaviours toward eggs, and caregivers' willingness to pay for eggs.

BEHAVIORAL

Complementary feeding intervention

The study promoted eggs. GAIN provided training to egg farmers to increase their egg production and marketing, helped increase mother's access to eggs by making them more available in local kiosks and getting retailers to display promotional messages around eggs, conducted sensitization workshops with retailers to increase egg purchases, and employed a demand creation campaign.
