Brief Summary

Study title: Joint Infant and young children nutrition program in Burkina Faso: Impact evaluation Hypothesis: The fortification of complementary foods associated with a counseling on feeding practices for infants and young children prevents malnutrition in 6-23 months-old children. Objective: to assess the effectiveness of a promotional care package in preventing malnutrition among children aged 6-23 months.

Conditions

Growth Failure; Good Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Proportion of children with Weight-for-height and/or Height-for-age ZScore <-2

  1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Proportion of mothers who can describe at least 3 best practices about IYCN

  3, 6 and 12 months

Other Outcomes (1)

  1 year

Study Arms (2)

Programme

EXPERIMENTAL

* Distribution of Micronutrients powders (MNP) * Intensive counseling on Infant and Young Child Nutrition * Cooking demonstrations

Other: MNP + IYCN counseling + cooking demonstrations

Controle

NO INTERVENTION

* Usual Infant growth monitoring and promotion activities * No distribution of micronutrients powders * No Intensive counseling * No cooking demonstrations

Interventions

MNP + IYCN counseling + cooking demonstrations OTHER

Growth monitoring and promotion sessions will take place every month at village level for all children 0-23 months of age and will serve as an entry point for all the interventions. During these sessions children under 24 months will be weighed monthly and screened for MAM and uncomplicated SAM for treatment in the community as well as complicated SAM for referral to health facility During the monthly sessions cooking demonstrations will take place in which the community Health workers will instruct the mother how to prepare a good complementary food for 6-23 months olds adding the MNP. These meals will be given to the child during the session. Mothers will be encouraged to prepare the same meal at home During the monthly sessions enhanced IYCN counseling will be given to the mothers of 6-23 months olds, using improved BCI messages developed based on the rapid assessment of practices and foods available in the community and adaptation of the WHO manual.
