  1. Better Behavior Change with Care Groups

  2. DRC MYAP, 2008-2011 Results & Lessons Learned • Lessons Learned: • Mother Beneficiaries have confidence and respect for Mother Leaders because they elected them as representatives and see them as role models, listen and follow their advice • LQAS – sharing results with Mother Leader to identify areas of high performance so that Care Group with low performance can learn behavior change strategies • Husbands support, provide encouragement, and sometimes participate in teachings

  3. Burundi MYAP, 2008-2013 Results & Lessons Learned (PM2A and Care Groups) • Lesson Learned: In Burundi PM2A Care Group program • Due to the requirements of PM2A projects, the number of mothers who were initially registered were limited to pregnant women in Burundi. FH now proposes to run Care Groups separate from PM2A food distribution so that pregnant women + those with children 0-23m can participate. Home visits will only be done with mothers of children 0-23m, but those with older children (24m+) will be allowed to participate in group mtgs. • In Burundi, the strict initial registration criteria (pregnant women only) for this PM2A programs limited Beneficiary mothers from electing the best suited CGV. FH proposes that future prgms not have this restraint. • PM2A program in Burundi required CG Promoters and/or CGVs to assist with food distribution activities, dividing their focus between behavior change and food distrib. • PM2A links Care Group attendance with an extrinsic benefit – food ration – which can be problematic.
