What this trial studies

This evaluation assesses the effectiveness of the USAID-supported Community Health and Nutrition (CHN) program in Jordan, focusing on its impact on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare providers and the behavior changes in pregnant and lactating women with children under two years. The program aims to improve maternal and child nutrition through better breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices, as well as enhanced family planning methods. The evaluation will take place in three governorates: Amman, Karak, and Zarqa, involving both beneficiaries and healthcare providers. Data will be collected to measure the program's influence on health outcomes and practices.
