Highlights
This study explores the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) of the mother and child benefit programme (MCBP) beneficiaries regarding maternal nutrition and the factors influencing household food consumption decisions.
The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data, covering various aspects such as nutrition, food habits, cleanliness, and spending patterns. In addition, findings show that the MCBP beneficiaries in Learning Hubs (LH), where Social and Behaviour Change Communication interventions (SBCC) were given, —exhibit better awareness and practices related to infant and child feeding, food preparation, food preservation, and supplement intake.
The study offers policy recommendations to improve the programme’s effectiveness, including empowering women, transparent beneficiary selection, and inter-ministerial coordination.
