Summary

Progress on child growth outcomes such as stunting requires both direct and indirect actions across multiple sectors. Recognizing the importance of multisector approaches in reducing child undernutrition, Alive \& Thrive (A\&T) India aims to improve the quality of health and nutrition services, as well as their convergence at the household level with other available nutrition-sensitive services, in order to improve MIYCN behaviors, and ultimately decrease malnutrition in Gujarat. In line with government priorities, A\&T designed a suite of system strengthening interventions including capacity building, supportive supervision, strategic use of data, improved food supplementation and engagement with local governance to improve the quality and co-coverage of nutrition-relevant services in three districts in Gujarat. This proposed evaluation aims to assess the feasibility of integrating multi-sectoral interventions using a cluster-randomized design with cross-sectional baseline and endline surveys.
