Abstract: This document is an endline report resulting from the evaluation of USAID/Bangladesh’s Improving Nutrition through Community-Based Approaches (INCA) project, which was designed to provide a comprehensive set of community and service strengthening activities with the objective of strengthening nutrition knowledge, practices, and use of services to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women and children under age two (0–23 months) living in selected areas in southern Bangladesh.

Findings from this evaluation will serve three purposes: 1) to establish the impact of INCA interventions on a rural and undernourished area of the country; 2) to help USAID/Bangladesh design future nutrition interventions; and 3) to promote learning for other government or donor-funded projects that work in the field of nutrition. This evaluation also adds to the common evidence base of community-based interventions in low- and middle-income countries.
