This project aimed to improve the quality of life for children age less than 6 years by improving their nutrition, health, cognitive and psychosocial development. The key concern remains how successful and sustainable are the outcomes? Data shall be collected using interviews, focus groups and document reviews. Data analysis shall employ the thematic networks analytical tool, which is aided by the ATLAS.ti software. The key hypotheses and recommendations from the analysis shall then be tested in a suitable community location and period in line with the research questions.
