01.Child anthropometric measurements – height/length and weight at baseline and endline (after 6 months) to derive anthropometric indices (weight-for-age, weight-height and height-for-age) using instruments (Seca brand), with the support of trained data collectors; WHO Anthro software will be used to compute standard z-scores of weight for age, height for age and weight for height versus WHO 2007 reference population 02.Child age-appropriate development of language, cognitive, social-emotional and motor development Caregiver reported early childhood development Instrument (CREDI) to measure child age-appropriate development for language, cognitive, social-emotional and motor development. Bayley-III, screening of child development in four domains (language, cognitive, social-emotional and motor), will be applied to a nested sample of children from control and intervention sites, by trained psychometricians or paediatricians.
