teenage girls, infants and kids under the age of 5 residing in poverty

project baseline studies. There are two types of evaluation strategies:
 Data collection methods – It includes three methods Household survey, Health facility
assessment, Secondary data review.
 Sampling strategy – This approach utilizes a quasi-experimental design to assess the gaps
between SHOW interventions and recognized comparative regions before starting.
