Abstract

BRAC health programme (BHP) initiated a pilot maternal, neonatal and child health project (MNCH) in Nilphamari in 2006 to improve the health status of women of reproductive age including neonates and children, through instituting necessary systems and measures. Before launching the programme, a baseline survey was done to help design intervention and future impact evaluation of the project. Subsequently, a follow-up survey was done during middle of 2007 to assess the changes, if any, taking place as a result of the MNCH intervention over the period 2006-‘07. This report presents key findings from this comparison of baseline and follow-up survey. [BRAC-RED WP No. 5].
