Interventions

Adoption Encouragement Treatmentother

Households in the Adoption Encouragement Treatment received child nutrition focused guidance on the nutritional and agronomic benefits of Quality Protein Maize (QPM) adoption, and the opportunity to order up to 6 kg of QPM seed to plant in their own fields.

Consumption Encouragement Treatmentother

Households in the Consumption Encouragement Treatment received the same guidance as households in the Adoption Encouragement Treatment, as well as additional guidance on the importance of specifically targeting foods made with QPM to young children and tools to help households keep the grain separate and remember to feed QPM-based foods to the young children.
