Summary

This study aims to evaluate whether early childhood development is improved by a bundled set of interventions that promote responsive stimulation and improved nutrition by the provision of eggs and dried fish (nutrient-dense animal source foods), and whether, in combination, these stimulation and nutrition interventions are more effective than responsive stimulation or food provision alone.

Conditions

  • Early Childhood Development (ECD)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Responsive stimulation, female and male caregivers

Caregiving-related social and behavior change (SBC) messages and activities for primary female and secondary (male or female) caregivers focused on responsive stimulation, encompassing responsive caregiver-child interactions and the provision of early learning opportunities.

OTHER

Food provision and nutrition education

Provision of eggs and dried Bonny fish. Nutrition-related social and behavior change (SBC) messages focused on infant and young child feeding (IYCF), the importance of feeding the child eggs and dried fish, and ways to feed these foods to the child.
