Number of Children Who Consume a Minimum Acceptable DietPrimary· At study completion, an average of 4 months after baseline
The minimum acceptable diet indicator will be used to assess diet quality in children. A list-based recall will be used to assess dietary intake over the previous day. The 24-hour recall will be used to calculate minimum dietary diversity (MDD) (consuming 5 or more of 8 food groups (breast milk; grains, roots, tubers and plantains; pulses (beans, peas, lentils), nuts and seeds; dairy products (milk, infant formula, yogurt, cheese); flesh foods (meat, fish, poultry, organ meats); eggs; vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables; other fruit and vegetables) and minimum meal frequency (MMF) (2x/day for

Anemia Prevalence of ChildrenPrimary· At study completion, an average of 4 months after baseline
Hemocue Hb301 machines to measure hemoglobin levels in children in order to determine anemia prevalence using the WHO cut-offs: mild 10 ≤ hb \< 11 g/dl; moderate 7 ≤ hb \< 10 d/dl and severe hb \< 7 g/dl. A finger prick will be used to obtain a drop of capillary blood that is placed on a cuvette and inserted in the Hemocue machine to obtain an on-the-spot assessment of hemoglobin levels.

IYCF knowledge, attitudes, norms and intentions will be assessed using survey questions based on the components of the intervention. Both mothers and fathers will be asked the survey questions as part of the household survey. The questions are grounded in the theory of planned behavior and based on previously published IYCF knowledge, attitudes, norms and intentions questions. The questions have been pilot tested by the project PI.
