Major topics to be addressed include: diarrhoea, water and sanitation, acute respiratory infections, fever/malaria, antenatal consultations, delivery in health facilities, breastfeeding, and child nutrition. The intervention is planned to start in March 2012 after completion of fieldwork for the baseline survey and will continue for 2.5 years."
