Brief Summary
This is an independent evaluation of World VIsion's 7-year quasi-experimental intervention to improve nutrition, nutrition-related rights and gender equality for women, adolescent girls, and children under five years of age in rural Bangladesh, Kenya, and Tanzania. The evaluation will collect baseline, midline, and end-line data from intervention communities, schools, and health facilities. Only baseline and endline will be collected on the comparison communities. The evaluation objectives are to test if the intervention improved indicators for (i) child anthropometry, (ii) maternal and child dietary practices, (iii) women's empowerment, and (iv) equitable health service access for nutrition and sexual and reproductive needs. The evaluation analysis will take into account gender differences in the indicators.
