Brief Summary:
The main objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a livestock management intervention with considerations for animal food security water contamination from animals and nutrition counseling in reducing the risk of acute malnutrition among children under the age of 5 years in Kanem and Bahr El Ghazel BeG in Chad
Detailed Description:
The main objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a livestock management intervention with considerations for animal food security water contamination from animals and nutrition counseling in reducing the risk of acute malnutrition among children under the age of 5 years in Kanem and Bahr El Ghazel BeG in Chad To get at this objective we will be comparing across four study arms 1 fodder provision 2 water managementtreatment 3 combination of fodder and water managementtreatment and 4 a control All four arms will receive nutrition counseling animal vaccination and animal deworming
Specifically the study aims to answer the following research questions in the implementation research
1 Does provision of animal feed and nutrition counseling lead to a reduction in child acute malnutrition of children under five
2 Does messaging pulling on existing local strategies to improve protected water access for animals and humans provision of a chlorine dispenser and nutrition counseling lead to a reduction in child acute malnutrition of children under five
3 Does provision of animal feed nutrition counseling in combination with messaging pulling on existing local strategies to improve protected water access for animals and humans lead to a reduction in child acute malnutrition of children under five
In preparation for the implementation of the intervention we will conduct formative research to better contextualize the interventions and data collection The formative research will seek to answer the following research questions
1 What is the water quality of and practices around different types of unimproved water sources
2 Which water sources are used by households and what is their distance from the community
3 What zoonotic pathogens are present in animal and human fecal matter and in milk
4 What is the highest acceptable using the flavor rating assessment method - Table 5 concentration of chlorine to provide safe water for users
The study will be done in a phased approach
Year 1 formative research
Year 2 impact evaluation
Year 3 sustainability study
