Contexto
What changed: Caregivers received weekly nutrition education sessions for 12 weeks along with $40 monthly unconditional mobile cash transfers for 3 months. Comparison: Control caregivers in the same IDP camps who received routine assistance. Limits: High attrition and small final sample size, severe prevailing drought, short duration of cash assistance, and group rather than tailored counselling.
