Summary

This study is checking if a 7-year program by World Vision helps improve nutrition, gender equality, and health access for women, teenage girls, and young children in rural areas of Bangladesh, Kenya, and Tanzania. About 13,500 people will take part, including women, their partners, adolescents, and children. Researchers will measure things like child growth, diet, women's empowerment, and use of health services to see if the program works.
