Study Summary
Alive \& Thrive (A\&T) is a multi-year initiative to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. During Phase 1 (A\&T-1, 2009-2014), funded by the Bill \& Melinda Gates Foundation, A\&T aimed to reduce undernutrition and death caused by suboptimal IYCF practices in three countries - Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Viet Nam. In 2014, IFPRI in collaboration with DATA conducted the endline survey in Bangladesh. The overall findings of the evaluation indicate that A\&T's work in Bangladesh is a remarkable success story of scaling up what has been challenging to date in the field of nutrition: complex, high intensity and at-scale behavior change communications interventions. In 2016, a follow up study will be conducted to determine the sustained impacts on IYCF practices, expansion of operations and promoted practices into new areas, and diffusion of IYCF information, two years after the termination of external project support.
Primary Outcome
The proportion of infants less than 6 months who have been exclusively breastfed on the day preceding the interview
