| Sumario: | This dataset originates from the Frontline Workers (FLW) Survey, conducted as part of the baseline for the impact evaluation of the Alive & Thrive (A&T) project in Gujarat, India. The study assessed the effectiveness of systems-strengthening interventions and local governance engagement in improving the quality and co-coverage of health and nutrition services in Gujarat, India.
The baseline survey was conducted from March to May 2022 across three districts, namely Bharuch, Surat, and Mahesana, in 26 blocks, with 13 blocks randomly assigned to intervention and control groups and one additional urban block in Surat. It was implemented by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with the survey firm Network for Engineering and Economics Research and Management (NEERMAN).
The FLW Survey collected baseline data on service delivery practices, training, supervision, and challenges faced by frontline workers. It included the following modules:
Identification;
Demographic Information;
Training Exposure;
Service Delivery;
Supervision;
Knowledge of Maternal Nutrition and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Practices;
Facilitators and Challenges;
Motivation, Satisfaction, and Self-Confidence.
This dataset provides valuable insights into frontline worker performance, motivation, and support systems, contributing to the broader evaluation of how integrated systems-strengthening strategies can improve service delivery during the first 1,000 days of life.
