The timing and sequence of intervention vary by site, but include improved access to seed-fertilizer to increase agricultural production; improved market and capital access; proven maternal-newborn-child health interventions delivered free of cost at the point of service; improvements to school number and quality; and access to basic infrastructure including safe water, sanitation, electricity, transport and communication.

Routine services and programs currently being administered using prevailing resources, at the current pace and with established partnerships. There is no attempt to limit the introduction of new interventions or agencies into comparison sites.
