Sponsor's own description
Child undernutrition is a worldwide public health problem that has persisted in African countries. For instance, the most recently reported prevalence rates of stunting (38%), underweight (24%), and wasting (10%) among children under the age of five in Ethiopia is higher than the global prevalence. The causes of undernutrition are classified in the following manner: immediate causes, such as inadequate dietary intakes; underlying causes, such as household food insecurity and inadequate care and feeding practices; and basic causes, which involve the household's inadequate access to education, employment, and income, among others. Evidence has demonstrated that nutrition education interventions (NEI) may influence both underlying and immediate causes of child undernutrition. For instance, nutrition education interventions have the potential of preventing the underlying causes of child undernutrition by improving mothers' knowledge in care and feeding practices, and further improving the quality and quantity of dietary intake, which is considered an immediate cause of child undernutrition. Moreover, nutrition education interventions designed to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, such as dietary diversity, frequency, and adequacy, are considered a high impact strategy that may substantially reduce stunting. Preliminary data from Hawassa University (collaborating institution in this project) demonstrated that approximately 86% of the children residing in Arsi Negele, Wondo Genet, and Dale districts in Oromia and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' (SNNP) regions in Ethiopia do not receive adequate complementary feeding practices. Such lack of optimal complementary feeding practices may compromise a child's growth, development, and survival. Therefore, there is a critical need for improving child complementary feeding practices to promote their well-being and adequate nutritional status. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to improve child feeding practices and related nutritional status by improving the mother's knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of complementary feeding practices for their children aged six to 23 months in three woredas located in Oromia and SNNP. It is hypothesized that after the NEI mothers will improve their children' dietary diversity, frequency and adequacy.
