Community-based childcare centers (CBCCs) are a key platform to roll out Malawi’s National Early Childhood Development policy. At these centers, families and community members come together to provide childcare services and meals for young children. The Nutrition Embedded Evaluation Program (NEEP) intervention was developed to use CBCCs for promoting child health and nutrition. The approach integrated local knowledge and guidance from experts at the University of Malawi and Save the Children to provide trainings on nutrition and agricultural production, linking with micro-lending program, and distributing seeds of nutritious foods to households.
IFPRI and Save the Children implemented a rigorous impact evaluation to see whether this approach was effective and could be replicated or scaled up across Malawi. In a new visual story, Aulo Geli, Amy Margolies, and Brian McNamara review the significant positive impacts of this program and lessons for the future.
