Impact Evaluation of the DFID Programme to Accelerate Improved Nutrition for the Extreme Poor in Bangladesh: Policy Brief

This policy brief provides an overview of the key findings and recommendations from the ‘Impact Evaluation of the DFID Programme to Accelerate Improved Nutrition for the Extreme Poor in Bangladesh’. The evaluation found limited positive changes in women’s nutrition-related child feeding and care practices and no changes in child nutritional outcomes (including stunting and wasting prevalence). This suggests a need to strengthen and broaden programme mechanisms for nutrition-focused counselling delivered via community nutrition workers, whilst also addressing the multiple context-specific social and economic factors which may limit the potential for nutrition-related behaviour change.
