About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Integrating Selected MIYCN Interventions in Existing Polio Eradication Platform of Project Concern International (PCI) in UP

The study has two arms; both experimental and control areas will receive standard interventions given under polio eradication program of PCI. Participants in the experimental arm receive additional interventions on nutrition (improve diet diversity in pregnant women and children of 6-23 months) for exact 12 months. The study includes awareness generation (regarding nutrition) through community mobilization, counseling and capacity building of community mobilization.

Read the detailed description

The experimental arm will receive the following interventions:

  1. Interpersonal communication (IPC) to reach target women (Women in their 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy and women with 6-23 months old child) to deliver messages on maternal nutrition package and complementary feeding through home visits made by Community Mobilization Coordinator (CMC).
  2. Expanded community mobilization involving key influencers in family like husbands and mothers -in-law and community opinion leaders, religious leaders, Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Committee (VHSNC) members. The aims are to improve awareness, shift norms and perceptions, engage husbands and local opinion leaders to promote healthy behaviour practices related to maternal nutrition and complementary feeding.
  3. Strategic use of data to design a context-specific program and track the progress of the program with regards to impact on social norms and behaviors at household/community level and demonstrate the feasibility of integrating select MIYCN interventions in polio eradication platforms.
  4. Convergence: The convergence will mainly focus on three Cs - maintain consistency, avoid conflict and enhance cooperation. This will aid in passing consistent MIYCN messages to the target community and ensure effective teamwork, collaboration and mutual support
